MGB 1964 MONTE CARLO RALLY GT CLASS WINNER

History

1964 Monte Carlo Winner and Britain’s best-selling sports car of the time.

7 DBL is an immortal number plate to MGB aficionados because it was driven to victory in the GT Category for sports cars and 17th overall, on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally by Suffolk based farmers, twins Donald and Erle Morley. They started the event from Oslo and the final result was remarkable for an 1800cc car, producing approximately 125bhp.

Previously, when fitted with a streamlined nose and aluminium panels, 7 DBL had won its class in the 1963 Le Mans, driven by Paddy Hopkirk and Alan Hutcheson. 7 DBL had been used extensively in endurance and rally events worldwide with sister works cars 6 DBL and 8 DBL.
