1980 MGB GT Sebring Replica

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 1960s 12 hours of Sebring MGB tribute 
  • Head-turning MG B GT 
  • Accompanied by an array of paperwork 

THE APPEAL 

Britain's best-selling sports car, the mighty MGB. Half a million variants were produced from 1962 until 1980, yet the admiration and love for these cars seem to only increase each year. 
Recommissioned as a tribute to the GT race cars at the 12 hours of Sebring, this 1980s registered MGB GT is a head-turning and honest example that would make an ideal weekend toy or classic track car. Aesthetically modified the MG still features its original 1860 cc engine and more luxurious GT interior and as such benefits from both an attractive race car look with everyday usable mechanics. 
In current enthusiast ownership since 2014 the car has very much been enjoyed and loved and is accompanied by a decent history file.
