Car 213 MGB GT 1972

With an 1850cc engine, this car gives a bit away capacity-wise to some of the other MGBs but after 7 seven years pedalling this car, it has seen some race miles. It is a budget privateer racer with some hard racing behind its bumper - living proof that an overweight BMC "hairdresser's wheels" can circulate Pukekohe in 1.18, Manfeild in the 1.30s, keeping the 2 - 3.5 litre-no-budget rockets honest. All spanner work by "Dr Mallin".
