1974 MGB V8 Roadster

Win This 1974 MGB V8 Roadster — British Racing Green, Factory MG V8 Power, “Show-Standard” Condition

We’re excited to bring you what’s genuinely one of the most impressive MGB V8 Roadsters we’ve had the pleasure of driving. Finished in British Racing Green with a smart black leather interior, this right-hand-drive 1974 car has been built using original MGB GT V8 components, including a genuine factory MG V8 engine and correct MG ancillaries under the bonnet — not simply a typical V8 swap.

It’s also been featured in Classic Car Weekly, and their verdict mirrors our own: the car presents to an exceptionally high standard and drives superbly. They note that, unlike many V8 conversions that lean on heavily modified induction, this one stays more-or-less to Abingdon spec (bar a wonderfully sonorous exhaust) — keeping the Rover V8’s famed docility and flexibility, with performance that’s more than up to the job.

Key Highlights

• 1974 MGB V8 Roadster — UK RHD, British Racing Green over black leather
• 3528cc V8 (OHV) — 137 bhp @ 5000 rpm
• 4-speed manual + overdrive on top gear
• Hydraulic power steering (MGOC-sourced), servo-assisted brakes, front discs
• 15” Minilite-style alloys on Yokohama 185/65 R15 tyres
• “Show-standard” and close to concours candidate condition
• Heritage Certificate, handbook, and supporting invoices

From behind the wheel, it drives like new, with healthy oil pressure and a strong, tight-feeling driveline. Add the power steering and those fresh tyres, and you get a V8 roadster that feels easy, responsive, and confidence-inspiring — the kind of classic you can enjoy without wrestling it.
