1967 MGB Roadster Vintage Racer – One Take
28 Settembre, 2017
This 1967 MGB is a replica of what a period factory works Group 5 race car would have been like. It makes 130 HP from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, weighs around 1,800 LBS, and makes a spectacular cackle at full throttle and when coming down off compression; an absolutely brilliant driving experience.
