MGB cabriolet préparé compétition
French registration - Meticulously prepared - Ideal for historic events - Eligible for Le Mans Classic and Tour Auto - Reasonable budget Launched in 1962, the MGB was an enormous commercial success. It was stylish, mechanically straightforward, economical and powerful. More than 500,000 examples rolled off the production line and the car was exported to the US, where European sports cars were very popular, in large numbers. The MGB also enjoyed a strong career in competition, both in rallies and on circuits. It distinguished itself on the Tour de France, the Monte Carlo Rally, the Sebring 12 Hours and the Le Mans 24 Hour Race. This MGB cabriolet with hardtop has been meticulously prepared, to be highly competitive for historic racing. With an FIA GTS passport, it is eligible for all the major events, including Tour Auto and Le Mans Classic, which it has already successfully entered. Preparation includes: fitting of a roll-cage, bucket seats, extinguisher, special fuel tank in the boot, cut-out and headlight covers. It has a rear-axle with long/short pinion specification, modified suspension, and a special valance at the front and back. The brakes have been refurbished, the 1,800cc engine re-built and the gearbox is new. The cockpit has been specially adapted for the driver and navigator. Recent invoices total €25,000, but much more than this has been spent on preparing the car. It comes with two sets of Minilite wheels and three sets of tyres : road, Avon and Dunlop Racing. The original chrome bumpers are also included, along with a hood and a pair of additional fog lights. Ready to introduce its new driver to the joys of historic racing without requiring a hefty budget, this MGB, a classic British sports car, is raring to go. It is fun, sporty and powerful in this set-up, and timeless.
