Rebirth of an MGB Submitted by Ken Thomas

My 1971 MGB Roadster was acquired on July 7th 2002 . It came to me as a rolling chassis with an engine and not much else . The engine was an aluminum 1961 215 cubic inch Buick V8 . This was the same engine that MG installed in the MGB GT V8, except those engines were built by Rover . The engine was kept here at my house while the chassis on my trailer was stored in Pomona . On Thanksgiving weekend in 2015 I became curious about the engine and removed a valve cover . Looking back at me were 8 brand new valve spring retainers . Could this engine have been rebuilt? It was immediately installed on my engine stand where I removed the oil pan . The pan was clean inside and there was assembly lube on all the bearings . Next I installed a radiator and starter motor and got the engine to run . It ran great, no smoke or unusual noises . The car was returned from Pomona and I began to reassemble it . There is a business in Michigan which specializes in parts for MGB V8 conversions . New rear springs and a narrowed Chevrolet S10 rear axle were purchased and installed . A 1983 Ford 5 speed transmission was fitted to the engine along with new motor mounts and it was installed into the car . Parts were engineered to install a new aluminum radiator, exhaust, carburetor linkage and a new Chevrolet brake master cylinder and booster . A new wiring loom and new Auto Meter gauges completed the electrical system . Everything was protected by fuses and relays . By the Fall of 2018 the car was running and drivable . The car was trailered to AAA who inspected it and issued a new registration, license plates and insurance . The car was road tested and many small and large faults were rectified.

In December 2019 the car was completely disassembled and trailered to the body shop for paint . The paint shop was one I knew from when I /was a Snap On Tools dealer in Montebello . Joe had painted three other cars that I own and I have always liked his work . We chose a medium green color. Joe also rebuilt the original MG fiberglass hard top which we painted artic white an original MG color . My friend John Franks (who has been helping me all

along with this project) and I began to carefully resemble the car . There is an u n b e l i e v a b l e number of small parts (some big ones also) to install . The engine was reinstalled at the end of June .

Rebirth of an MGB Continued: There is still much work to do before the car can be reunited with the road . The interior is the next big thing as is finishing the electrical system. Stay tuned for the next installment . Everyone stay safe and healthy, see you at the virtual meetings .

Keep motoring safely .Ken Thomas

Brewster Gray delivered the first TC in June 1949 to Ross Sherwood (it was red, had a chrome radiator shell, tall wire wheels, a right-hand driver's seat and a 1250cc engine) . The second went to Jim Easton and the third to Dale Halliday & Vic Trodd . Brewster Gray was the pioneer imported-car dealer but he had no service facilities and the early TC owners depended on Dale Halliday and Vic Trodd at the Smith & Jones garage, 100 East Pacific Coast Highway. Clarence Covert was in charge of sales for Brewster Gray. Dr . Hammer and Jim Easton hung a sign out inviting TC owners to sign up if they were interested in forming an MG club. The first meeting was at Dr. Hammer's apartment. The second meeting was at Sam Caldwell's where Dan Dickinson was named President, Jim Easton Vice President and Kay Hammer Secretary-Treasurer . They were granted a charter with the Home Centre as the Southern California Centre of the MG Car Club of England in 1952 . Jim Easton and Dan Dickinson designed the club badge and emblem which features a replica of the TC spinner hub . The first club rally had 10 cars, covered fifty miles, had one check point, was won by Dot and Dan Dickinson and rated pictures in the local paper and Road & Track .
