[Mgs] 1972 MGB GT V8 Race Car

[Hans Duinhoven]

Well it's always the car's owner to decide.
Overhere it is very popular to buy low cost classics and use (abuse) these 
as daily driver.
Advantages are many - low investment, no car tax, low insurance, easy 
conversion to LPG which is much cheaper than normal gas.
There are lots of classics converted as classic racers like this BGT.
Can be fun as well.

Cheers,

Hans
