MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Wonder how this does in the Rain.......

It probably has a chrome-plated umbrella which clips over the trumpets to keep the rain out.

Looks sweet...but I hope that's a fibreglass C bonnet.

Doesn't rain in SoCal

Sweet!

Isn't that just the dog's thingy. Very nice. Park it anywhere and have all sorts of unknown substances poured down the trumpets. I wonder if it starts with Coca-Cola inside the plenum?

Looks like the car built for the German TV show that was linked about a month ago. Nice job, but I wouldn't want the intake.
Bill Young

It's in MG Enthusiast this month...built in 6 weeks for the Essen motor show, but Mike's right...you would have to put a cover over the trumpets if you parked it in the street here.

Those are Huffaker fender flares. Lives in SF sold them those flares. Got the same on my GT.

Nice intake. But... they are dirt collectors. Ferrari had a similar intake with plexiglass scoop 275 short heel GT's and some GTO's.
Bill Guzman

The car was recently on ebay, and came with a second bonnet which must cover the intakes. Dave
