Please tell me what it is and when it was built, all this for 1 point.

Much probably a very easy Rookie point!

Aston Martin updated prototype version of the MGB. Designed,I believe, by William Towns.
Aston Martin were part of a consortium attempting to buy MG from British Leyland.

MGB V8 conversion by Ken Costello ?
