Description
Sales information
This is not just an MGB. This is a meticulously built, Works rally car-inspired version of one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built.
This MGB was delivered new in the United States in 1972, restored in the late 80s, and imported to the Netherlands in 1991. In December 2016, an ambitious transformation began: a complete rebuild to WORKS rally specification, fully documented with extensive photos and invoices.
Finished in classic Tartan Red, equipped with a Sebring body kit, Minilite wheels, and numerous technical upgrades, this MGB offers both looks and performance.
EXTERIOR – A GENUINE RALLY LOOK
The car was converted with authentic Works details, including:
• Sebring kit front and rear (rear without lip, professionally sprayed during restoration)
• 15-inch Minilite wheels (2019)
• Vredestein Sprint Classic 175/ 70R15 tires
• Original factory hardtop with ventilation flap
• Vinyl soft top and matching tonneau cover (suitable for roll bar)
• Additional spotlights at the front and rear fog light
• Tinted windshield
• American side markers, rear emblem, and chrome trim removed, holes professionally welded shut and finished
The result is a purposeful, competition-inspired look that perfectly complements the technical upgrades.
