Question Is it an old Brit Gasser ? A movie car ? Custom?

Well as has happened since I opened the T2V shop fiberglass keeps finding me. Got a call on a rhd MG and went to get it as the price was right... Well here it is. Is it a old Brit Gasser ? A movie car ? Custom? Has anyone ever seen the car ? Lots and Lots of high quality glass work and interesting lines. The car is a MGB 1962-63 RHD the body is under the glass on 75% of the car a real moon tank and tilt front end chevy 396 on the side of the hood, has a chute box built into the car, brakes are on a lever, ladder bar go all the way to the bellhousing, and the engine mounts are for a high mount engine. All points to a 1960's altered or gasser, but the rear F4 aircraft air intakes are all wrong for a drag car ??? All input welcome.

Take a look...




and now a look inside:




Please let me know if you have any info or speculation on the car. You can contact me through my website.

Default Mystery Car No More

Please meet the Meglomania!! A famous UK drag racer for the 60's.

Now the question is, how did it find its way to Arizona?!?
