The Appeal
The MGB continues to be one of the country's most-prized cars - and if your own is getting a bit long in the tooth, you've no doubt noticed that British cars of a certain era are very prone to the odd spot of corrosion. The MGB is so perennially popular that there's since developed a roaring trade for heritage body shells - usually supplied axle-free and unpainted, ready to be applied to your prized car.
This one has already had multiple steps completed, with the suspension, axles and knock-on wheels fitted and ready to go, with a decent amount of groundwork already completed, this is a superb opportunity to bring a new lease of life to your 'B' roadster. image.png3.42 MB
