Description
This 1974.5 MG MGB GT was purchased by the seller in 2015 and then modified over the next ten years. The car is finished in Aston Martin California Sage Metallic and powered by a fuel-injected 4.6-liter Rover V8 paired with a BorgWarner T-5 five-speed manual transmission. Other modifications include Sebring-style flared bodywork, a Fast Cars independent front suspension, a three-link rear suspension, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and Cosmis Racing wheels. The cabin is equipped with Holley Sniper EFI controls, Vintage Air climate control, and Speedhut gauges. This modified MGB GT is offered with build records, a photo book, Blackstone oil analysis reports, and a Texas title in the seller’s name. The body was stripped to bare metal via media blasting during the build. Rust remediation was performed using British Motor Heritage steel panels. Sebring-style flared wheel arches and a front lower valance were installed. The factory bumpers were deleted, and the exterior was refinished in Sherwin-Williams Ultra 7000 Aston Martin California Sage Metallic. Details include door-mounted mirrors, pop-out rear quarter windows, dual exhaust outlets, and black MG badging. LizardSkin thermal and sound-dampening coating was applied to the floors and underbody.
