MGB V8 Roadster

It is time for my MGB V8 roadster to move to a new custodian. The vehicle holds current full NSW registration and has been used as a weekend car for many years. It does have a history of hillclimb/short circuit racing.

This car is one of a very small number that were assembled here using genuine imported V8 body shells and some sourced second hand components. It was not converted from a four-cylinder car.

Equipped with its original 3.5-litre motor paired with a five-speed transmission. It runs a Holley instead of SUs and features a disc brake LSD. It has had only minor updates from its original specification, including the bonnet and differential, and a suspension upgrade.

The car has always been maintained and serviced. Recent work includes a new alternator and brake booster.

There are some scuffs, a dent in the driver’s door and some patches of missing paint due to race numbers and stickers being attached and removed. It needs a new top, the seats could do with a retrim, and new front floor mats wouldn’t go astray.

This is a turn the key and enjoy. A pleasure, fun and exhilarating to drive. To build this car today would cost in excess of asking price and may still not be registerable.

V8 roadsters do not come up often and I have owned this for the past 12-13 years.

Happy to take any calls and make the car available for inspection.

Asking price $50,000
