- Much recent attention in 2024
- With ‘Sebring’-style bodywork upgrades
This 1975 MG-GT was restored around 10 years ago and modified partly to give the appearance of those Sebring racers. The bumpers were removed, the front valance altered, a Sebring-style bonnet added, also perspex headlamp covers, minilite wheels and decals.
A solid and reliable example, the MG has been waxoyled to prevent corrosion, and in 2022 serviced with the carburettors rebuilt/ tuned on a rolling road. Said to run nicely, this striking looking ‘B’ has been seen at Castle Combe and in the MG Paddock at a recent Haynes Breakfast Club Meet. The MG is mechanically standard other than electronic ignition, an electric cooling fan, also working overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears.
In current ownership the car has been serviced with new filters, oils and front discs/ pads. The engine bay has been tidied up, door cards, seals, and locks replaced, the wiring improved, a new fuel sender fitted, and also new horns. The seats were removed and the sound proofing replaced, the seat belt hangers renewed and the seats refitted. The tailgate was fitted with new Duez fasteners, and the correct jack/ wheel brace sourced.
Finished in Damask Red with black interior, this cool looking MG has the looks of the legendary Sebring racers, at a fraction of the price.
This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Saturday 21st September at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
