Of course, as you\u2019ve probably noticed, this particular MGB is more than just a V8 version. It\u2019s also got the looks of the mighty Sebring version. And yes, some may scoff at the notion of a replica or recreation, but that\u2019s not what this is. The seller, quite rightly, describes it as being \u201cSebring styled\u201d, which is exactly what it is. It\u2019s not trying to be a Sebring, it\u2019s just pulling on some of the Sebring\u2019s most desirable styling traits. So think wide arches, deep chin spoiler and impressive bonnet bulge. Because everyone likes an impressive bulge, right? <\/span><\/p>\n

At \u00a322,750<\/a>, it\u2019s also a fraction of the cost of a real Sebring, and as such, you\u2019ll be more inclined to give it a boot-full of throttle from time to time. And that\u2019s what this car needs; spirited drives either on track or over ribbon-like B roads draped over the countryside. And all with that glorious V8 soundtrack. Bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MGB,<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, there is more to this car than the way it looks. There\u2019s also the matter of the parts that have gone into building it. There\u2019s that immaculate V8 engine, obviously. But there is also electric power steering, Spax suspension and associated bushes, a full stainless exhaust system, electronic ignition, RV8 front brakes for ample stopping power and a Terratrip rally meter for logging those on-stage stats. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"MGB,<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a car that stands out, this really is the machine for you. And here\u2019s the good part: you get to stand out without compromise. Being a Sebring styled car, there are no cumbersome bucket seats or roll cage bars to navigate. In fact, it looks to still be all MG inside, so it\u2019s a car you can hop in and drive without hindrance. It\u2019s the perfect car for weekend blasts with no agenda other than to have fun, and you can\u2019t go wrong with that. <\/span><\/p>\n
