Beautiful old MG B V8, photographed, taking part in a vintage car run in Bangor Co Down, some 20 odd years ago. Indeed the vehicles in the background are now vintage as well!
Practica BC 3 Kodakcolour Gold 100 scanned from print.
Nice! I didn’t know they had a V8 model…was it a rover V8?
Yes think it was Bill, Both companies were under the umbrella of the British Motor Corporation (BMC). BMC went trough many names and changes and are very sadly defunct now. British motor manufacturing is a very small industry now.
In my younger day as a mechanic, I use to service this type of car (not the v8). Just how old am I? I’m talking working on them in the early to mid 70’s. Great image! eter.
LOL time waits for no one Peter.. except Dr Who of course!! What about a time machine made from an MG instead of a DE Lorean? LOL
