Modified 1978 MG MGB Roadster

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.
