Vehicle description
Vehicle Details This is a very unique and one of a kind, extremely detailed restoration of a 1967 right hand drive MGB with a full fiberglass Sebring body kit. The body had a rotisserie restoration on an already extremely clean 1976 shell (no rust). The engine compartment is highly detailed in every aspect from appearance and function, the power plant is a supercharged and intercooled GM Ecotec engine and GM Aisin 5 speed transmission. The engine and trans are the same as what would be found in the very unique Pontiac Solstice. This is a modern day drive train and a classic MGB body. The front suspension is custom built with GAZ adjustable coil over shocks, 1”drop in the front spindles from Fab-Tek, and 1” rear lowering springs, and a custom built 1” front anti-sway bar, all the suspension bushings have been replaced with poly bushings, as a result the car handles like it’s on rails and is very stable through the tight bends, there are no rattles and this MGB driver very tight and quiet. The cooling systems utilizes an extremely effective aluminum rad. and a 16” elect. fan. The exhaust system is a beautiful stainless steel header with custom pipes which help it breath extremely well. The new wiring harness from Advance Auto Wire is much more superior to an original electrical system and the new gauges are AutoMeter Pro Comp. The gauges are set in real carbon fiber. Seats are recovered Miata seats which add amazing comfort and support. The door panels and dash are new along with the rest of the very individualized interior. The windshield frame has been chromed, the third wiper was added, and all three wiper arms were moved to suit the driver for the righthand drive set up. While the under side of the car was perfectly solid before restoration had begun, during the restoration the subframe rails were reinforced to add extra stiffness to the structure of the entire car and the entire underside was sprayed with Raptor bedliner(see photo) to protect the structure of the car. The rear diff. is a stock MGB 3.9 tube style diff. With adjustable aluminum custom made tramp bars and Spax adjustable tube shocks and lowering springs. Wheels are Roto 15”x7” and the like-new tires are205/50/15" Falken Azenis RT615. The body is in excellent condition aside from a few very small stress cracks (see photos). I have been driving this absolutely fun car on the roads in Western Pennsylvania since 2014, the body is extremely durable, the paint is still show quality and as a result, still usually places in the top 3 at local British car shows. This special MGB Sebring Roadster was featured in the June 2017 issue of The North American Classic MG magazine. The mileage shown is on a new speedo I installed last Fall. Total mileage since built is about 4,800 miles.
