Description

For sale is my MGB GT Sebring conversion with a 3. 9 Rover V8. It is running the EFI system so good on fuel and performance, which is mated to an LT77 5 speed gearbox. The rear axle has been upgraded to the 3. 07:1 crown wheel and pinion so you can use all the revs in all gears. It pulls amazingly and sounds fantastic as it's also fitted with Clive Wheetley's full stainless steel exhaust with RV8 manifolds exiting through the front inner wings.

The body kit has been bonded and fibre glassed to the car which was in extremely good good condition to start with and has zero rust. All chassis legs, castle rails, inner and out sills and everything is solid. It's been painted in black cellulose paint, which being honest isn't perfect, but still looks very presentable.

The suspension has been upgraded to Spax shocks and chrome bumper leaf springs on the rear and lowered springs on the front. The brakes are genuine MGB V8 front brakes with discs and callipers with all brake lines upgraded to stainless steel braided ones.

The interior is finished to a very high standard with full tan vinyl and brown carpets and also includes 4 uprated speakers and a bluetooth DAB stereo.

The wheels are 15x8 snowflake with a diamond cut finish which I think suits the car brilliantly and fills the arches nicely.

There are probably other upgraded parts that have been fitted that I have missed, so feel free to ask any questions and come and take a look for yourself. The V8 mated to the 5 speed is a fantastic setup and sounds amazing. Matched with the wide arches of the Sebring kit, this car turns heads and stands out while you're cruising around the A and B roads.
