1971 MGB Competition Roadster
Registration no. HDJ 488K
Chassis no. 255289

This 1971 MGB roadster was professionally prepared by BLC Motorsport for the MG Car Club's 'BCV8' series. It is fitted with a 1,860cc blueprinted race engine incorporating a ported cylinder head, high-lift camshaft, roller rockers and a lightened flywheel, while other noteworthy features include a Peco race exhaust, K&N air filter, Kenlowe electric fan and electronic ignition. The suspension and braking systems have been fully rebuilt, the former incorporating new negative-camber wishbones and Neoprene bushes while the latter boasts drilled and ventilated discs. The steering, stub axes and clutch are new, as are the Minilite-style 15x8 alloy wheels, which are shod with Kumho 225x50x15 racing tyres. Very light in weight, the bodywork features Sebring-style wings with enclosed headlights, quick-release bonnet, boot lid and front skirt in glassfibre, and a works-style hardtop. Driver security and protection comes courtesy of an Aleybars six-point roll cage, Cobra race seat, Sabelt four-point harness and a dual pull-fire extinguisher. Representing a relatively cheap and affordable entry into club racing, the car is offered with sundry restoration invoices and Swansea V5 document.
