Long time members of this list (and the britcars predecessor) may remember my
stories of Jasmine, my MGBGT that was both a daily driver and a track car that
I used when teaching, and which I even raced with ICSCC one weekend.
TLDR; Events in my life have unfolded such that if Iâ??m going to sell my 1969
MGBGT this would be a good time. It is near Santa Cruz, has a race legal cage
(SCCA logbook, also legal for Conference and NASA), a HPE supercharger, Ford
5-speed, ported aluminum head and a crazy amount of go-fast goodies for the
motor. I am willing to entertain anything that even vaguely resembles a
reasonable offer on everything.
I also have a truckload of spares amassed over the years.
Iâ??m in the middle of some major work on my house, I have emptied out the shed
where I kept most of my spares, plus those given to me when a friend lost his
storage unit. By the end of January the company I work for will be moving from
the Bay Area to Riverside. I wonâ??t be selling my house, but I have a lot of
work to do before I move myself for a few years. I have only been able to make
sporadic progress on the car for ages, and it is unlikely that Iâ??ll be able
to anything more for several more years.
I donâ??t have time to catalog everything, and while the engine and
transmission are in place, itâ??s more akin to a project that is ready to be
started. The major bits are:
1969 MGBGT, with race legal cage. The body is in fair shape, shortly before I
took it off the road was restored to â??race readyâ?? 20/20. A few years back
the aluminum bonnet was blown off the car and got dented on one side where it
meets with the fender.
A motor with lots and lots of goodies. In the previous incarnation, with a
cracked iron cylinder head I saw 107 hp to the ground on a dyno with the
supercharger before the headgasket blew (because of the head). The new version
has a custom elgin cam, ported aluminum head, high lift rockers, nitrided and
balanced crank, aluminum flywheel, light starter, aluminum backplate,
performance distributor, and so forth. The 50 static pounds I reduced the
motor weight by alone is good for about half a second per lap. The car was
able to keep up with spec miatas on the straight at Thunderhill. With a nearly
stock suspension, they did handle a bit better though.
Ford five speed transmission.
