Jose: You working on MG's now?
- Thread starter Alpine 1789

Hi Jim,
Actually, I had planned to V6 one of these early MGB GT's, before my health went away. They are the only MG that I like the looks of. I was thinking that maybe a 4.0 V6 with a five speed, would be perfect for this kind of car. I guess I'm just a sucker for a glass hatch back design, because I fell in love with the Volvo P1800ES when I first saw it too.
This car is not bad, but I would look for a perfectly rust free California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas car. I fear and loathe this kind of rust. I believe this car could be a great touring car, if it had a reliable and powerful 4.0 V6 in it.

I like them too, but if I was going to go for a non-Alpine hard top, it would probably be a Triumph GT6+. No need to hot rod that. I wish I could have bought the one Jim E had a few years ago.
Hi Jim,
The MGB GT has a certain boxy look that I find attractive. I'm not too inpressed with the IRS in the Triumph GT6+ either. I like all the room it has under the hood, but that is about it. It all comes down to taste I guess.
Jim's GT6+ was a very nice car though.
