The MGB engine is the doom of an otherwise great sports car. "All noise and no poise" when you step on the gas.

The iconic look of a Shelby Cobra, but in a more compact package? How about an MGB bodied to look like a Shelby Cobra?
This Cobra lookalike retains its MG inline-four and four-speed gearbox, though does come fitted with rally-style wheels.
Find this 1977 “MG Shelby Cobra” available from Vicari Auction as part of its upcoming Biloxi auction, October 10-12.

Wow, that’s, um, something.
By the way, I love Cobra replicas built on off-beat chassis.
That's a neat build but it would be super disappointing to only have that MG 4 under the hood. With looks like that you'd want some substance behind them, no?
Hey, at least they started with a buggy bumper car instead of an earlier one.
That car needs a Rover V8.
Without the V8 it's made to look like an Ace.
A guy in SoCal built one decades ago and tried to make it more like an AC Ace ,
The mock-up looked pretty good , but I never saw it finished.
The steering wheel has got to go.
Can't wait to see what it gets on the block. Should make mine worth more
Forgot the money shot
