About the MGB GT V8
The factory MGB GT V8 (1973-1976) fitted the lightweight Rover V8 producing 137hp into the GT shell. Despite weighing less than the 4-cylinder car, production was limited to 2,591 units due to the oil crisis. Only available as a GT, never as a roadster from the factory. Faster than an E-Type at a fraction of the price.
Known Issues to Watch For
V8 specific issues: engine overheating common, cooling system needs uprating. Gearbox weaker than engine. Rubber bumper examples only. Verify factory V8 vs conversion - factory cars have specific chassis numbers and build plates. Fuel consumption significant.
Desirable Options
Factory car with documentation essential. Low mileage examples. Correct specification per build records. Original exhaust manifolds. Factory options: overdrive, alloy wheels.
