    E4 Our ‘proper’ Oldtimer numbers this year are about the same as last year, but our Classic entries—1973 on if in a C2 club—have grown significantly so that our numbers this year will be nudging 400—yet again a record. As the format of this programme, which we introduced last year, has proved successful, we’ve naturally stuck with it. You should be able to get this and last year’s programme on your mobile etc from www.Oldtimer.uk.com, where you can request email circulars on our rallies; next year we intend to accept entries online via our website, www.Oldtimer.uk.com—however, if you still require a paper entry form for next year, please either give the Secretary at HQ here today or send her by post a Stamped Addressed Envelope, as in future we will only be sending information by email—if you’ve had to pay postage bills lately you’ll know why! As many of you will know, the Airshow planned for 8th June this year didn’t happen—although by way of compensation the Red Arrows did come, giving a wonderful display lasting nearly half an hour. With just seven days notice we were allowed to organise a rally on The Leas here, and 40 cars turned up to take advantage of the offer—as seems to be MG TA 1937 usual for our events, in magnificent warm sunshine. The central photo on the cover taken over the bonnet of a mag- nificent Silver Cloud III gives the flavour! As ever, we are grateful to our sponsors, Folkestone Town Council, for the prizes and plaques, our judges and mar- shals From Folkestone Automobile Club and the Lions, local landowners and businesses for displaying posters, and Shepway District Council for smartening up The Leas for the Bank Holiday.

    again, I therefore got hold of an SD1 assembly with the intention of doing just that. The photos at the start and end of this article show the engine as currently configured V8 Conversion: Crank and Water Pump Pulleys - Planned is this the Holy Grail? position of new V groove Chris Bound is carrying out a V8 Conversion on his recently for drive belt acquired MGBGT. The car is a low-mileage example from 1977, Early crankshaft damper believed to be from an SD1 originally a rubber bumper model but already converted to chrome bumper at some stage in its life. The 1991 Range Rover “Classic” engine that he has sourced is as close as they come to MG RV8 specification but has multiple pulleys bolted onto the crankshaft damper, all of which make the engine much too long to fit in the MGB. Separate belts were used to drive the water pump, alternator, power steering pump and, where fitted, the aircon compressor. Chris knew that changes would be needed and tells his story here. Alternator I decided to deal with the alternator first, simply because I thought it would be the easiest to resolve.

A suitable (65 amp) Magnetti Morrelli alternator, similar to the RV8 unit, was found on eBay for the grand sum of £20.
