No cages needed Andy, only recommended, same as last year. if you do any we are in a new class B4, which is 2.0ltr and above 4WD only. So basially a Japbox class!

Yes - that's the classic bit. Had great fun in Chris 'S2000' Avis' one at Jersey's classic hillclimbing weekend. 170bhp and sounds great. Wish I'd had the money to buy his when he sold last year.

Sunbeam Tiger would be more interesting but would be around what I'd get for Evo.

Can you get decent suspension for the MGs these days? When I ha a V8 in the early '80s I fitted telescopic dampers to the rears, still with the cart springs but there was no replacement for the front lever arm cr@p things. Don't forget to grease your kingpins too :D

Don't take any notice of Logan, he probably wasn't born when the '74 chrome bumper version appeared. :roll:

You can normally run a few times without a MSA logbook. I only got approved after the second event. (Cost around

You can have fun in a B V8 - carbs etc

Greve de Lecq hillclimb, Jersey 07 in a borrowed 170bhp V8 B. Over the four days of Aug Bank Hol there was a sprint, two days on this hill and one on Bouley Bay. Plus BBQs, gala dinners, lunch etc etc Got to be better than North Weald
