Description
Up for sale here is my lovely little MGB Roadster Competition Car
Built and run in the Cockshoot Championship in the 1990s it wears a period Williams racing livery.
This little car is very quick. Its a well known car in the right circles and has raced at just about every UK circuit, claiming many class wins, and won the 1993 Cockshoot cup Championship outright.
Still eligible for the Cockshoot cup, as well as HSCC Roadsports MGCC, MGOC events etc etc.
Would also be quite a formidable Hillclimb car with the close ratio gearbox.
I had planned to run her at Angouleme Circuit des Remparts.
Rough spec as follows
- Enlarged 1950cc B series engine with oversized pistons.
- Stage 3 head, ported and polished with larger ss valves (as large as regulations allow), double valve springs with titanium retainers, racing camshaft. The head has recently been removed for inspection, ceramic coated (at a cost of £600) and treated to a Cometic steel laminate head gasket.
- Fuelling is via a Weber 45 carburettor on a sports manifold with a facet red top pump and 3into1 tubular sports exhaust. -The fuel tank is foam filled.
- The ignition system is all new, featuring an electronic distributor, leads and new Accuspark sports coil and plugs and dizzy.
- Four speed straight cut close ratio race gearbox (SCCR) with overdrive removed for lightness.
- Front suspension lowered with negative camber arms and Spax adjustable dampers. The rear has sports springs, Spax adjustable dampers and anti-tramp bars.
- Sits on Minator wheels with almost new Toyo R888 tyres.
- Fibreglass front wings and rear quarter panels, hardtop, boot lid and front valance. Lightweight aluminium bonnet and lightweight plastic side windows and sebring headlight cowls.
- Full competition roll cage, two bucket seats and race harnesses. Fire suppression system also present for driver and engine bay.
- Overhauled brakes with brand new front calipers, drilled and grooved front discs and Yellow Stuff pads. New brake and clutch master cylinder and throttle cables.
I’ve been right through the car to ensure it is now ready to use again in anger. The engine, gearbox and diff all have fresh race specification fluids.
Paint isn’t prefect, but still very nice for a period race car.
Road registered and tax/ MoT exempt, the MGB can even be driven to events if the new owner wishes. Just avoid the potholes :-)
This genuinely quick and very competitive little car offers a raw and extremely rewarding drive with an intoxicating exhaust note.
The accompanying history file contains the vehicles race provenance. This includes period photos, time sheets and a mid 1990s race programme. The owner in the 90s also took the time to attach plaques to the dash of the main race events it competed. A very nice touch!
Complete with V5C and a large folder of receipts and paperwork. Cockshoot MG Championship Winner 1993
Silverstone MGOC Competitor 93-2012
Croft / Brands Competitor etc etc
