MG B Roadster 1973
V8 Conversion
Vehicle has been owned by myself for 10 years. Was fully restored when purchased with receipts and photographs of all work carried out. V8 conversion was carried out in 1997. Vehicle was run for one year after conversion, then taken off road for respray, then due to other commitments and interests eg. MX5 and motorboat – MGB was just left in the garage.
We are moving abroad approximately July / August therefore MG for sale. Vehicle was valued at £9,500.00, I am looking around £5,000 as a quick sale is required.

I have a full list of components purchased and fitted from MGB conversion specialists in London, which runs into thousands of pounds.
All conversion and restoration work carried out by professionals to a very high standard.
The engine insulation brief was to make it look factory installed, which has been carried out successfully.
Due to the low price there has been quite a lot of interest, so I imagine it will sell very quickly once inspected.
