A new MGB with V8 grunt, what's not to like! Superb thanks Jodie ❤

[@robertcook2572]

What's not to like? The black wheels and the lack of bumpers

[@Birashanuman]

@@robertcook2572 Not to mention the driver's door shutlines ! Why wouldn't you simply buy an Aston Martin ?

[@RupertFear]

The cost...but its wonderful!

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Never noticed this chick's videos before today... but apparently she has been around for years... Have an MG Midget with Buick V8... best part is the smooth engine...

[@adrianharrison5208]

​@@Birashanuman Because they dont want one, they want this

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

I really like that almost every component is British. The attention to detail and standard of finish is superb.

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Except the Buick engine...

[@markforrester3385]

And the Morel audio brand which he said was English, is an Israeli/American brand!

[@mgbchuck6527]

What a beautiful "B". Mines a little rough around the edges comparatively (custom chassis/suspension, SBC 400+hp, 4-spped), V8 MGBs are BIG FUN!

[@911engineguy]

Wow, what a beautiful execution of such an iconic car!

[@maverick9769]

Every Car Guy has a story, please keep this format. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. salute to Frontline and the brains behind the company.

[@paulclark2947]

Tim's a really good guy, he's put his heart & soul into that business. He deserves the attention his cars are getting.🙂👍

[@mikematthews2k181]

Been waiting for this video Jodie 🎉. As an ex MG mechanic I was smiling for ear to ear ! Although the later MG'S . Maestro, Montego metro etc . Such an amazing brand !! They Stir the Soul and Inspire Memories❤

[@eoinosullivan2636]

Great restomod, thanks for bringing us this video, Jodie.

[@MrTimcoronel]

So glad you kept the Marina parts-bin interior door handles!

[@robe7512]

What a car, old school classic with a modern twist.

[@jasonwright9555]

I'd love to have that over here on the German Autobahns! Mega!

[@tonyw3250]

We need more cars like this, we can't compete with China on cheap crap, but we can compete on pure quality and class.

[@dodgingspice55]

The word China actually means cheap crap.

That's what you call a jem of a beautiful 😍 ❤ car love it all together

Insane whip. looks as good as it sounds. Retro Metro....Love this. Special Special Special...

[@chloxfam9248]

A truly beautiful machine!...sounds awesome!...❤️

[@gileswilson1980]

Hi Jodie that was great loved it. The way you loved the car would you buy one? As I would if I had the money without a doubt as it great cars like this exist in the first place.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

Really great job on making that V8 MGB. 👍😎👍

[@gary5481]

I have to hit the like button before I've even watched the video, because I know it's going to be great. Especially with the V8.

[@russellstocks1199]

Fantastic sound that is what a car should sound

[@paullambert4445]

Thanks again for another great video. Beautiful car, but I would miss head rests.

[@chrisarnott4082]

Lovely to see people doing these unique builds.... maybe making it back to a 2+ slightly more practical. either way lovely car!

[@b3564]

What an attractive motor!

[@alanthomson1227]

Have always been a Triumph fan rather than MGs but I would love one like that .

[@BMW7series251]

Wow Jody, what a weapon!! The sound was amazing! Many thanks for posting, cheers, John.

[@andrewdavies6273]

Absolutely superb Jodie love these cars, and then you put in a monster v8.😊

[@paulrigby3578]

wow what a car excellent great to see an old car new and with lots of power also it put a smille on your face when you see the on the road well done kid in a sweet shop

[@ZAKU-GD]

the front end shape kind of reminds me of a BMW Z8. very sleek slope

[@studioNW1]

Omg I used to follow you for years in your modelling career! How cool that you've got a Car channel! 😍 so nice to see you on here ❤

[@scottmahl2352]

I wish these were available in the US as my first car was a MGB-GT but I understand it is difficult to import them.

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Easy to build one in USA...

[@stupothitch9162]

Absolutely stunning but is it just me or does looking in the boot look like they have just dropped off an unfortunate soul at the local crematorium?

[@alanclarkeau]

Much better than the EV converted abominations.

[@t4mor4]

Engine sounds lovely when pushed, I hope someone specs a track version.

[@jasonmillington4344]

Some classic cars get better with age and some simple modifications. Truly stunning car

[@simonjarratt]

THAT is a car. I suspect it's big money but what an absolute beauty. I'm going to investigate immediately!

[@simonjarratt]

Yes, I've just seen the price. Another dream crushed.

Beautiful job! Trimmed somewhat like an XK-E, the paint brings to mind the '68 E-Type I had.

[@Steve-rv1ql]

Lordy, I bet this is a really really good steer. Fantastic fun in such a useable pretty package. Oh to have unlimited resources and just build what you fancy. The design and engineering on show here looks very impressive and properly resolved, top work and British too!

[@MonitorSmith]

I love the vibe here, very nice. Contagious enthusiasm. :)

[@martinclapton2724]

Great piece of engineering, fit finish, sounds and looks the business. Well done to all involved

[@JohnEvans-zo7kk]

Brilliant car, now I know what to spend my lottery winnings on.

[@kevinsquire5460]

Incredible With a lottery win I'd have a V8 for proper motoring and an electric version for everyday use. Love the attention to detail, the electric window solution, brilliant Great video about a company making a classic into a modern (extremely) desirable classic

[@kibeard007]

What a fabulous car Abbey is- love it Thanks 🙏

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Magnificent car .

[@ecyfoto]

Nice job! What a project but couldn’t you have updated the seats? Headrests should be a no brainer in a restomod. 😅

[@PaulinhoThompson]

There's nothing better than seeing the driver of a car radiating happiness 😊

[@grayfool]

Oh no, not again! My "have to have one now" list just got longer.

[@manonabeachjourneys]

Great stuff, keep the hammer down!

Great just shows what we can still do

[@thomasstalder6708]

That is fun!

[@jmarkr100]

It’s magnificent!

[@bobsheruncle1374]

Mechanically superb and would be great to pilot. However, the back floor reminded me of a Hearse and the roof lining looks wrong imo! Sorry guys!

[@ilovecds9606]

The MGB already has a rover V8 and if that's not enough the RV8 also has a guess what? I do like this one with all the leather and the potdntial for reliability but you tend to fall in love with the original.

[@rocklover7437]

I think this is a just a bored out Rover V8 .A bit long in the tooth as originally the Rover V8 was a 1963 Oldsmobile 215 cuin motor .

[@jerseyman99]

Believe me. To get 375 road tractable bhp out of an RV8 it isn't "Just a bored out Rover" I would love to know who the engine builder is. Maybe JE?

[@MzfrVictorious]

Beautiful car!

[@bensmiling]

I have had a real the for the MG C GT ever since I saw one as a kid. Long term plan to get a project and sort it.

[@emilycroot6306]

Thats a very nice tight but reserved english v8 sound, love iit x

[@thomaspyke1464]

Looks like a hearse!

[@rocklover7437]

The standard MGB V8 was pretty fast with the rover 3.5 which was originally a Oldsmobile 215 cuin .This looks like a punched out Rover V8

[@buzzwaldron6195]

No, Brits got the narrow 1950 Buick 215... 1961 Oldsmobile 215 version too wide for most small British cars... wish video had more info on the engine and less flippant chitchat...

[@paulboyle6857]

Come on Jodie high time for another video,or is your pub keeping you too busy?!!

[@nz_sailor]

Perfect for a run in the country

[@lyonheart84]

In terms of size there is certainly at least one MGB with a jaguar v12 squeezed under the bonnet 😁

[@carlrasmussen1282]

Lots of American hot rodders did Sunbeam v-8 conversions in the late 60's early 70's. "Sportscar? Not yet it isn't" they said.

[@MarkGledhill-m1b]

Hey jodie hope ur still making the videos great car thanku for amazing content

she was never going to last. too reliant on others to film and edit, and lets be honest shes only doing it to promote stuff for money. you need a much stronger work ethic to succeed at You Tube.

The Dunlop alloy wheels are lovely, but not in gloss black. The detail is completely lost. Silver, or at a push, gunmetal.

ALSO - here on YT, "The Widest V8 MGB GT In the world". Built for $5K. Yes, five thousand dollars ALL IN !

Redbull hanger 7 next please josie kidd I beg you to go please

[@nickwatkins5321]

I WANT ONE!!!!!!

[@user-hk2es6rv2f]

Could do with headrest as invent of a crash .

[@anydaynow01]

Proof that even though EVs are the ultimate commuting appliances, but if you want to feel alive, you buy an h shift ICE, bonus points if it has a great interior like this masterpiece! My trackday, Sunday/Funday car is h shift ICE, my meaningless commuting appliance is a soulless EV which is objectively "faster" than the fun car.

[@vinniedixon1140]

Even though is has a V8 engine, it's not going to stop the bodywork from rusting which MGs are notorious for. Serious issues with that car by having stereo system controls in a centre console meaning you have to take your eyes off the road. Also no head rests on the seats which could result in serious whiplash injury if another vehicle crashes into the rear at speed.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

I think that was the longest stint for you as a passenger before grabbing the wheel.

[@waynebriscoe9127]

Where can I buy one in Canada?

What is source of powertrain?

So Jodie , have you bought one?

Hi Jodie, any new content coming soon x

[@lyonheart84]

To be honest although it is obviously superbly engineered, for me most of choices for the appearance of both the exterior and interior did nothing for me at all 😱

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

Looks like a proper MG until you turn the key. Then Abby becomes a proper beast.🔥🔥🔥🔥

great to see a REAL beautiful car ,modernised, just wonderful , ...i just don't get these battery ugly cars they are trying to sell people nowadays , take me back to the 60's/70's/80's PLEEEEZ ...LOL

[@Rob-rg7ix]

Very nice car but I think 375 hp is to much for the car
