Modified 1978 MG MGB Roadster
This 1978 MG MGB roadster has been transformed to resemble an MGB that competed in the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring. Powered by a replacement 1.8-liter inline-four and a four-speed manual transmission, the car features extensive modifications including a bumper delete, low-profile windscreen, roll bar, and 14-inch Revolution-style wheels. The black exterior has been repainted and further modified with bullet-style mirrors and metal blanking panels. Inside, the cockpit includes vintage-style racing seats, red camlock lap belts, and a reshaped dashboard with custom instrumentation. The car benefits from a Weber DGV carburetor, tubular exhaust headers, and a stainless-steel exhaust system.
