Have we just witnessed the birth of the Metcalfe Hill Climb

Hook line and sinker. Been around the B pretty much from day one. Wracking my brain - how could I have missed this model? Everything you wanted an MGB to be. Thanks Harry....

[JohnHarwell-um]

YES, YES!!!
Had a ‘67 GT, BRG, chrome wheels, wood steering wheel, Abarth exhaust!
What a fun ride on the new interstates running in excess of 120mph!!

Now waiting for an update on the spaghetti trees growing on Harry's Farm! You old rascal, Harry.

You nearly had me! The fuel injectors gave it away. Still, as quick as a 70's Porsche turbo, nice work.

I drove a '66 MGB GT for over a decade... 2 paints jobs, 1 new interior, 6 new wire wheels, 2 engine rebuilds and everything that could go wrong with Smith gauges and Lucas electrics... Loved that car!!!

Only Harry can do a full car review without leaving his drive 🤣

I grew up with MGs and I was utterly disappointed with myself for not knowing this car! I was about to share it with my brother to see if he knew the car. Thanks to all commenters for saving me the embarrassment! And to you, Harry: well played sir, well played.

[AndyRRR]

I think there's a bit of April foolishness going on here...

My friends mother in the early 90s had a mgb gt in British racing green. Was a pleasure to drive. Always turned heads. Loved the wire wheels. Half the football team used to pile in those days to get to matches. Good times

[matsuri]

Totally fell for it, haha! I did think that the multi-port fuel injector rail looked a bit too modern for 1966! Another great video from Harry!

[Markycarandbikestuff]

Had me fooled, coil overs, trick suspension, 15" wheels with low profiles, fuel injection, rear discs on a factory built MG in 1966, lovely thing though, and great video as always Harry.

Naughty Harry! Being of the same age and a bit of a car enthusiast, I wondered how I had never heard of this “special” LE works model. I’m glad I let the video run until the end, as listening to you as officialdom on all things automotive, you hoodwinked me fair and square! Just glad that my historic MG knowledge was not actually missing anything.

Best joke and video of the day Harry! I love the understated way Harry says his driveway is “only just about a kilometre long” 🤣😂! Perfect lockdown channel 👏🏼👏🏼

[rickc]

Lol, I can't believe the first April Fools to fool me in years was by Harry.

[wparslow]

Is this the most subtle and elegantly executed April fool ever perpetrated in the car world?

[martinpither]

Really well done. I was puzzled by the plastic cam covers, but ran with it. Completely taken in. Thanks for keeping the lights on :)

[petedavis]

Brilliant, April 1st joke had me fooled
