Very pretty old 1957 Coupe, rebuilt 2010 through 2011. Built for my wife who drove it daily for a year, and build quality reflects this.She now prefers a '67 MK10 Jag for practicality because of it's size. So the MG has to go. I hate to sell it, but we just don't use it enough. It has a Great colour combo, looks really sharp, can be driven daily, completely reliable. Best of all, it's got performance for acceleration AND braking. There's a lot to list on this car.

Drivetrain is sixties MGB built to 'Rally' specs. Very nice. Headwork, camshaft, exhaust and intake system are all matched to use pump gas with great performance . Doesn't get hot. Got an electric fan on an automatic thermostat system. Oil cooler. Distributor matched to the other components. Lightweight alternator. Intake is a custom 1 3/4 SU setup.

Transmission is MGB with relocated starter so the frame was not altered at all.

Final drive is original Coupe spec, which gives that extra touring ratio and works great with the uprated drivetrain.

Power brakes! This car was a 1500 with drum brakes, and this was kept for that '50's look. They are all rebuilt of course - and are fabulous! Everything is new in the brake department. The power booster is period 1957 MK I Jag which was designed for drum brakes. These brakes really work well! Vacuum resevoir is also Jag MK 1.

Fuel tank is new, steel replacement. New pump, lines, filters etc etc.

Wheels are nice, and have good michelins.

Electrics are all new. Car has an alternator. Nice Lucas headlights. Special indicator system, lovely horns, wipers and heater done like new. There are two electrical cutoff switches for security, and a remote door locking system.

Interior is lovely. Period updates all round. Pictures tell the story better than I can. Swithcgear is my design. Nardi wheel, alloy shifter, rosewood trim, Leather bucket seats. Now, these are really nice buckets from a '56 AH 100/4, far superior to the MG items. Adjustable sliding of course. New windshield. Non reflective dash pad. All new rubbers and weather strip.Very expensive new door latches.

Body is nice. I had the front bumper and valence replaced with the Sebring race valence. Run your fingers around the wheel arches and rear valence - perfect. Like the day it left the factory. This car has never been hit or in an accident . Monza Fuel cap. Nice wipers. All new window rubbers. Spare wheel rack on the trunk lid to give more space in the trunk. Bonnet and trunk lid in alloy.
