Many years ago Vince from Melbourne, Australia started building a V8 Magnette. Then he abandoned the project and left it at his mother’s garage for the past fifteen years. But recently the interest in his project returned and now the Magnette sits in his driveway, almost finished and driveable. Its main specifications are a SD1 Rover V8 with twin SD Stromberg carburettors; a Triumph Dolomite gearbox with Leycock overdrive on 3rd and 4th and a narrowed Ford Capri V6 3.32:1 differential. For braking the Magnette uses MGB solid discs at the front and Ford V6 Capri drums at the rear. The body is lowered two inches and there are some more modifications but I especially like the two small Austin A55 turn indicators on the front wings (click). Very nice project!
