V8
Roadster Conversion project - from dream to reality! V8 Roadster
Conversions are very popular with V8 enthusiasts and come in a variety of specifications.
Geoff King contributed an article with a fascinating tale of how his conversion
project was conceived and carried out over a three year period to produce an award
winning V8 Roadster with a wonderful specification and performance. Geoff converted
his rusty 1972 MGBGT 1800 to a V8 Roadster using a new Heritage bodyshell over
a three year period and completed the project in August 2002. It has a 3.5 litre
fuel injected engine with a five speed gearbox, independent rear suspension, unequal
length double wishbones, and coilover dampers front and rear. The brakes have
been upgraded with disc brakes front and rear, with four pot calipers on the front.
