Monte Carlo Rally Outright Winner GT Class 7DBL is an immortal number plate to MGB aficionados because, it was driven to overall 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, although one fitted with a 'stage 6 tune' engine producing approximately 125bhp. Previously, when fitted with a streamlined nose and aluminum panels, 7DBL had won its class in the 1963 Le Mans, driven by Paddy Hopkirk and Alan Hutcheson.
