is the CL77 a 305? that's what the shape of the gas tank looks like. when i was a kid, my next door neighbor had one. really nice looking bike! the MGB is a nice light car and with the V8 its gotta move quickly. so what did you do to the brakes or suspension? the B looks great, is that primrose yellow?

Yes. 305. It's the bike I lusted after when I was much younger.

The B is quick. Brakes are stock. It's a '77 which was originally big rubber bumpers and tall stance to meet DOT regs. They are easiest to convert to the V8 because BL changed the steering and engine compartment in 77 to house the V8 but only did it on a few GTs. Moss race springs in front and reversed eye leaf springs in back to lower it. If I wanted to make it handle I'd have to flare out the wheel wells and put much bigger tires on it. I didn't want to do that. I've driven this one to California and back also.
