Letters
of the month in Classic & Sports Car magazine
In the September 2010 issue, Fred Grisley
has a letter on page 43 headed "Monster
MGV8" in which he reflects fondly of
the Factory MGBGTV8 he had back in 1974. It
was subsequently heavily modified with a 0-60
mph capability of 5.8 seconds which he says
"traumatised Porsche 911 owners who were
left standing"! He ends his letter saying
"my RAF service as a fighter pilot excepted,
the old girl was, without a doubt, the greatest
fun I ever had with my clothes on!" |
