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 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 (approx double so probably still calibrated for 4cyl)
- 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 appear to be 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!
