It's not an MGB. Carbs are on the wrong side. Midget perhaps?

If you watch to the end, it looks like a bug-eye Sprite.

Not a bug eye.

Yes, I agree, having rebuilt one (without the music). Having trouble getting to the end of the clip (low bandwidth at home), but that looks to be a non-US, late, probably 1500 engine , due to the dual SUs (not fitted in US after 69) and alternator (generator before 70)
