The bespoke specifications included :Body and Paint: A new heritage body shell with a refurbished windscreen frame and quarter lights. The car is painted in BLVC93 Bracken color, with the body etched and primed before painting. It has been undersealed, fully machine polished, and coated with a high-end, 5-year guaranteed ceramic coating from Fenlabs, applied by Perfect Polish in Shrewsbury.Engine: A 4. 0L cross-bolted version of the Rover V8 engine with a 3. 9L camshaft for freer revving, built and supplied by Vitesse Global, complemented by a bespoke exhaust system.Additional Features:Clive Wheatley MG rocker coversWilwood front disc brakes and new rear drumsEdelbrock carburetorRevotec electric twin fan setupMX5 5-speed gearbox supplied by Vitesse GlobalSuspension and Handling:Front suspension with Moss Europe Dynamic coil-over suspension and adjustable Bilstein shocksRear suspension featuring Frontline Developments 5-link setupPolybushed all aroundQuaife Limited Slip DifferentialFrontline Developments front spoilerInterior and Comfort:Motolita leather steering wheelBattery isolator switch behind the driver's seat, wired for a Ctek battery chargerNew mohair hood and half tonneau coverNew carpet set and boot carpets in Autumn leaf colorRefurbished V8 seats with new leather covers in Autumn leaf colorTwo-stage electric heated seatsElectric windowsClassic car audio DAB radioWheels and Tires: 15” anthracite-colored Minilite style wheels with Avon ZT7 tires.This is a restomod MGB Roadster with the performance of a modern 200bhp per tonne car. It boasts brakes capable of handling its performance, and its enhanced suspension and LSD enable full utilisation of the V8's power. The free-revving V8, with its bespoke exhaust system, produces a glorious sound more reminiscent of a TVR than a traditional MGB.The car has covered just under 3, 600 miles since the rebuild and has always been garaged and stored under a cover. It has never been driven on salted roads and is rarely caught in the rain.Purchase Invoice 2021:Body colour - Bracken BLVC93Trim colour - Country tan trim and Autumn leaf carpetsDashboard - Black wrinkle finishFront grille - V8 style black honeycombeWheels - 15" mini lite wheels anthraciteMGB V8 roadster heritage shell rebuild : £39, 995. 0015" mini lite style wheels anthracite : £300. 00Heated seats : £375. 00Pair door mirrors : £90. 00Refurb windscreen frame and quarter lights : £850. 00Boot carpet £200. 00Mohair hood black : £495. 00Mohair half tonneau black : £325. 00Electric windows : £450. 00Uprated new heater : £330. 00DAB/ Bluetooth retro radio and doorspeakers : £495. 00Additional soundproofing kit £240. 005 link rear suspension Frontline : £1, 980. 00Cigar lighter : £60. 00USB ports : £95. 00Twin chrome rollover bars (Cosmetic) : £500. 004. 0 V8 engine : £2, 400. 00MG rocker covers (Clive Wheatley) : £300. 00Battery isolater switch : £120. 00Battery conditioner CTEX : £120. 00Extra number plate for trailer : £20. 00Tow bar and electrics : £300. 00 (No longer fitted)Front line spoiler £240. 00Limited slip differential back axle : £950. 00Total build cost : £51, 230. 00Engine oil : 2-50 classic oilOil filter : Part no.
