[Mgs] MGB engine

[Dodd, Kelvin]

Barrie:

Here is an image of the development MGB fitted with O series engine. The
car is over here in the states and the photo was taken at a car show.

The engine fits very well and in production form was going to be fuel
injected. I believe that this was part of the Aston Martin takeover
project that failed.

Sorry to list members, the image is going to be stripped. Maybe Barrie
can put it up somewhere.
