Chevrolet V6 Powered 1980 MG MGB Roadster

This 1980 MG MGB Roadster Limited Edition underwent a custom rebuild featuring a Chevrolet 3.1-liter V6 engine paired with a five-speed Borg-Warner T5 manual transmission. The body was repainted in British Racing Green and retrofitted with chrome bumpers and an earlier-model grille. Notable modifications include a Holley carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, short-tube headers, and an aluminum radiator. Riding on 14” GKN alloy wheels with Michelin tires, other features include power-assisted front disc brakes, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a Kenwood audio system. This build combines classic British styling with modern performance improvements.
