Owner: Berry Dracup
Make/model: MGB GT V8
Month/year of manufacture: 1974
Colour: Red
Engine size/type: Rover 3.6 litre
BHP: 170
Top speed: Never tried that out!
Gearbox type: Rover SD1 5-speed
Area: Hayling Island
Date purchased: February 2009

History: The car had a bare metal complete restoration in 2001 and was then dry stored and did about 400/year until my purchase at the beginning of last year.  I used the car on a couple of club events during the year and it has now been fitted with a set of rally clocks, full harness seat belts (and Sebring headlamp covers!) with the intention of doing more club events and perhaps a few one-day navigational events/regularities. To this end I am searching for an enthusiastic lady, with perhaps a mathematical bent or navigational skills/desire to learn, to fill the navigators seat.
