V8 Roadster that came closest to being regarded as the car the MG Factory might
have made won Car of the Show prize on the West Berkshire Classic Vehicle Club
stand at the recent NEC show. This exceptional car was built by Don Hayter who
was Chief Design & Development Engineer at the MG Plant in 1973, responsible
for the design of the MGB body and later the MGBGTV8 and stayed with MG until
the closure of the MG Factory in 1980. He remained passionately enthusiastic about
this iconic car and built this MGB V8 Roadster conversion. Don finally decided
to sell the car a couple of years ago and it was bought by Edward Vandyk. Alongside
is Steve Kirby who organised the stand and Edward provided the car as an exhibit.. |
