MGB GT resto project1978. Ideal Sebring Conversion For Sale
It is a 1978 BGT in Russett brown with deckchair trim. It is a non sunroof model which if you are building a Sebring is a must. Also it has the later engine with an overdrive gearbox. The car suffered some light damage to the front when a lorry backed over it but there was no damage to the chassis legs. It just pushed the bonnet etc back and damaged one front wing. The damage was not recorded so it has a clean title. It was the perfect car for me since to build a Sebring I would be removing the four wings and the bonnet. The same with the interior, I was going to fit Racing bucket seats and harnesses and trim the rest in Black.(I built a few Sebrings a few years ago so I just fancied building another). The car will need some welding in the usual places because the last owner stuck the carpets in causing the floors and lower sills to rot. That said, above the waistline its all pretty good, the roof is perfect, the headlining is good, the tailgate etc all fine. I removed the bonnet since it was beyond repair and I started to remove the damaged wing but that is a far as I got. Any trim bits and badges I took off are in the car. The engine turns freely but the radiator and oil cooler were both split when the lorry backed over the car so I have not tun the engine because it is dry of fluids and I did not want to risk damaging it. Restored as a standard BGT its a £5k car. AS a Sebring in today's market it would be at least £15k.
It is the perfect car if you want a restoration project. I unfortunately am no longer able to carry out the work required on this car.
Being 40 years old this car will now become Tax and MOT exempt. I have the V5 with the car. It shows it as having one previous owner, Manufactured 1978 and brought back to the UK in 1999 having been used overseas. If you would like to come and see the car please call me on the details below, thank you.
