Bainford - yes it is the Rover V8 derived from the Buick (260cu???). It's actually by SE Finecast from a kit that I made a mess of.

Dave Ellis there supplied me with the wheels and screen from their roadster kit so I'm sure he would also supply a separate engine if you emailed.

Very cool little MGB. I love it. You did an outstanding job. The badge on the grill is a nice detail. Overall a wonderful model.

I'm curious about the white metal V8. Is there any more you can tell me about it? Is it a Rover engine?

Hi Guys - here's a little MGB V8 conversion that I did a while ago. It's a 1/24 Airfix kit fitted out with a white metal V8 and other bits, some scratchbuilt.
