1971 MGB GT V8 - Conan the Coupe! SOLD
I acquired this car about 18 months ago from a local aeronautical engineer who had rebuilt the car from the shell up and lived with it in Portugal (he worked for NATO so the car has remained a UK registered example). I have the pictures on CD to show the extensive restoration.
Spending my days tapping away at a keyboard, I desperately wanted a hobby that was more hands on and practical and I absolutely got one…it’s just that it’s more nappy-hands-on as opposed to engine-hands-on.
As fettling a 1971 British classic is no longer viewed as an acceptable use of my time it is just sitting in my garage. However, my loss is your gain…
The Specification
The car is in great mechanical order, although the body (whilst solid and visually holding its own as per the pics) needs some cosmetic attention to finish and has been prepared in some places for a respray I was intending on having done. It is MOT-ed (with no advisories) until May 2018.
The interior (where complete) is in great condition as per pics but does need a headlining and a few interior pieces refurbishing and fitting (you can have everything I’ve bought for the car but not completed).
Detailed specification follows:
• 1971 MGB GT conversion
• MOT'd (with no advisories) until June 2018
• Fitted with a fully rebuilt Rover 3. 5 V8 engine ((500 miles since rebuild) with uprated fast road cam, remote oil filter and oil cooler
• Correct MGB GT V8 dashboard and gauges
• MGB GT V8 radiator with Kenlowe cooling fan
• MGOC V8 Super-sports twin stainless steel exhaust system with MG RV8 style manifolds (fuel tank centralised to allow dual exhausts) – they sound biblical
• MGB GT V8 Front brakes and copper brake pipes throughout
• MGR V8 clutch master cylinder
• MGB GT V8 wheels with virtually new Firestone Tyres
• JWR Offenhauser inlet manifold
• Holley carb (recently tuned)
• Edelbrock Air filter housing
• Electric fuel pump fitted
• LT77 5 speed Gearbox with professionally modified gearshift remote unit (centralising the gearstick in the original position)
• Uprated 3. 08 ratio rear axle
• Uprated brakes with later MGB pedal box/ servo, new tandem brake master cylinder
• Uprated front suspension rebuilt with Moss "Coil-over" telescopic conversion
• MGB collapsible steering column/ rack (far safer in a crash)
• New Gaz telescopic rear shocks
• Magnolia leather front seats, leather covered central console, matching magnolia trim panels and red carpets
• Electric windows
• Central locking
I’ve priced the car to reflect the bits that need to be done to make this car amazing. It’s definitely not a project car (although there’s obviously lots you could choose to do) and would suit anyone with the time I can’t now dedicate. Come and have a look or give me (Neil) a call to discuss.
