Description
Hi, here is my MG B V8 converted roadster with a few upgrades such as:
- Rover 3. 5L V8 conversion
- 5 speed gearbox
- Rear adjustable shocks
- Limited slip diff
- Full stainless exhaust
- Aluminium MGC bonnet with ventilation
- 15 inch MGC chrome wire wheels
- Electric cooling fans
- Stainless sill covers (currently removed due to repairs taking place)
This is currently a running light project for myself, however a change in circumstances has me listing it for sale. It is at a reduced price due to the reasons below so please read.
Condition is on the whole quite good aside from the welding needed as outlined below. Paintwork is excellent with nothing nothing more than light swirling. Chromework is very good indeed, the wire wheels are a little tarnished in places but will come up nicely with a little polish. Brand new Toyo tyres have just been put on. The general underside looks to be excellent - I suspect the previous owner spent significant money on it before they sold it. Mechanically it works very well, and sounds absolutely incredible! I cannot think of anything under the bonnet requiring attention.
Minor items requiring attention that I will be continuing to repair as time goes on:
- Headlight switch is broken (just got to install the new one)
- Doors won't lock (It does save potential thief cutting up the hood though!)
- Tracking could be improved
- Rev counter does not show correct RPM
- A few bits of old waxoyl starting to come off
A few extras I have acquired will be included, along with a full tonneau cover.
As seen in the pictures, there is some welding required to the outer sills. The inner sills are thankfully fine, as will be the nearside membrane after some wire brushing. I have some borescope images of the inside cavities too. The driver's side appears to be in much better condition which is good. I do still plan on getting this done imminently and the price will increase to reflect it on completion should it not sell before then. Excellent profit potential for someone with a bit of time. Even better if you can weld yourself.
Sold with previous ownership documents as well as receipt for a major service, brake overhaul, engine re-tune and other maintenance costing £5, 414.
Test drive welcome with proof of insurance. Third party often included in standard car policies.
Please let me know if you want to know anything else or want more pictures!
