There is a company that is producing an updated MGB. It seems that it produces to an electrifying experience.

I think the Scimitar is a much under rated "classic", buy one now before people realise how good they are! The suspension, independent front (Triumph based) and a beam rear axle works very well when set up properly.

Sadly, I sold my V6 Coupé in late 1987 after 11years of bliss

It was parked-up awaiting a full chassis rebuild and V8 Rover engine … but I changed jobs and moved house, so it had to go.

Ken Costello V8 B's were very much better than anything BL made and a lot faster!

Can't say these truck engined B's do much for me, far to heavy up front! The V8 was a much better balanced car that should have been developed much further.

I would like to know how they got it through crash testing?

They do not need to crash test, just put each car through an IVA test same as Caterham, Westfield etc do for cars they build ready to run for customers. Anyone who builds a kit car has to do the same.

No one would follow my Trident with its Norman Hyde 3-1 exhaust, strobing the Boyer ignition at 5000rpm when it was fully advanced tended to annoy some neighbours and bring a cherry glow to the exhaust header pipes. An hours riding like a hooligan made your ears ring. Also being a Motörhead and Ted Nugent fan I am amazed I can still hear at all.

A neighbour had a Trident, and the first time brother and I heard it we immediately said it sounded like a BRM F1.

Not a model engine. I know the offenders.
