Close up photos of the model MGBGTV8
Peter Ellis has sent in a couple of close up photos of details of
the Universal Hobbies MGBGTV8 - the engine bay and Dunlop composite
wheel. Remarkable detail. Peter
feels it was unfortunate that Universal Hobbies made various versions
of the 4 cylinder MGB before going on to the V8 so the sump and exhaust
manifold on the V8 are as for the standard MGB! Photos

says "the photos are not from a new factory MGBGTV8 in
my garage but part of my model collection in my MG Room! They
are 1:18 scale and it is a fantastic metal model in all details
not least the very detailed engine bay under the bonnet! It
has the very nice Dunlop composite wheels and a heated rear
window. It's simply perfect in all details. Only the V8 badge
on the front grille and the BL-badge on the left front wing
were unfortunately forgotten during the production. This 1:18
metal model was made in China by the company Universal Hobbies
and the price in Switzerland in 2008 was approximately £55
which is quite a big difference to those now expected to be
available from September 2021. I will be interested to know
if the doors and bonnet of those new models can be opened
and if they include the detailed Rover V8 engine". See
