The Appeal

The MGB is one of the world's most successful classics - certainly one of the most iconic. It's little wonder that so many of these British sports cars have become candidates for modification and customisation. This one has undergone, for instance, a conversion into a muscular 3.9-litre V8. Quite the upgrade from the 1.8-litre straight-four it was built with.

This 1967 example was fully restored and converted to V8 specification in 1994, and the work is comprehensively documented with photographs, receipts, and even a magazine article covering the build. Purchased by the current owner in November 2021, it has been garaged throughout their stewardship. The vendor describes the driving experience as great fun with an incredible sound.
