This is a restomod MGB Roadster with the performance of a modern 200bhp per tonne car. It boasts brakes capable of handling its performance, and its enhanced suspension and LSD enable full utilisation of the V8's power. The free-revving V8, with its bespoke exhaust system, produces a glorious sound more reminiscent of a TVR than a traditional MGB.
The car has covered just under 3, 600 miles since the rebuild and has always been garaged and stored under a cover. It has never been driven on salted roads and is rarely caught in the rain.
