Dependable 1977 MGB that I drive several days a week to work (year-round) and many weekend trips to the mountains of 200+ miles. I am looking for the next steward of this car who is interested in a rewarding hobby and will continue to enjoy it and take it to the next level of completion. All systems are sorted and functioning well. The direction of this car is to emulate the look of an early 60’s MGB rally racer.

 

14” Mini Lite style wheels, new 85-65-R14 General Altimax HP tires, balanced and fitted. New lowering springs, polyurethane bushings front and rear are installed. After removing the rubber bumpers, a Moss Motors front Sebring valance with air lip was fitted to be removable, as opposed to permanently attaching it to the car. HID headlights with integrated 10-light LED amber turn signals and small button style amber LED front fender repeaters added after shaving the large boxy ones. The front signal openings and rear side markers were shaved and metal fillers were welded in.

 

The Moss Sebring grille has been fitted with stainless steel mesh to match the custom polished stainless mesh fitted in the early style radiator grille. An aluminum front bonnet (hood) was purchased and installed. The tail lights are new early MGB with super bright LED brake and turn signal bulbs from Moss Motors along with welded fillers below the tail lights. Included and ready to attach is a high quality Moorespeed hand laid fiberglass rear Sebring valance with integrated recessed license plate. An original early MGB factory hard top is included and is complete but needs restoration.

 

The head was shaved and completely rebuilt with new valves, guides, hardened seats and finished with a three angle valve job. An early cast iron exhaust manifold was installed and an early MGB SU twin carb set-up was rebuilt and fitted along with a pair of conical K&N air filters. Also installed a new re-curved Advanced Distributor, Tourist Trophy polished Stainless Steel exhaust system, new radiator, gas tank and brake master cylinder. Rebuilt front brake calipers with new pads and new rear wheel cylinders, turned drums and new brake shoes. A high quality MOMO wood steering wheel with aluminum spokes adds a nice steering feel and quality touch to the interior.

 

I have owned, modified and driven MGB’s for 40+ years and this is the in-progress “grand finale” culmination of my experience. I enjoy this car, but it is time to pass it on. Not really looking for just a buyer, but an enthusiast to enjoy driving this strong running, solid southern car while continuing the Sebring transformation journey. This is virtually a rust free southern car (only one very small spot on the rear driver’s side dog leg, see photo). All spare parts, owner’s manual, and literature included in this sale. Extra parts include (2) engines with attached 4 speed transmissions. I will be glad to answer any and all questions concerning this car. Thanks for looking.
