1978 MGB GT Sebring Style SOLD

1978 MGB GT. Sebring Style. Manual / Overdrive. Blue with Grey upholstery. Purchased by the last keeper in 2011 who then undertook a body restoration and modification. The car was stripped to a rolling shell with all panels removed. The sills and chassis were in great order with only minor corrosion to the rest of the body, the tailgate was the worst panel on the car and a new old stock unit was sourced. The car was painted in Dupont base coat with DeBeer hard coat applied over the top, the car was then wet flatted and machine polished to achieve the flat finish with high gloss. The MGB was then refitted up using many new parts. At the same time a mechanical overhaul was carried out to include the following, engine rebuild, new piston rings, new big ends, main bearings, thrust washers and oil pump. The cylinder head was rebuilt by Coventry Boring with new valve guides, new exhaust valves, inlet valves refaced, valve seats recut, head refaced and pressure tested. Pancake air filters, Lucas sports coil, Red rotor arm, new oil cooler, solid state electric fuel pump, electric cooling fan. Other work includes new ignition barrel, refurbished Rostyle wheels, Borg & Beck front pads, front brake flexi hoses, steering rack refurb, suspension poly bushed, front road springs, rear leaf springs, sports exhaust, new Hancock battery fitted this year. The car benefits from Twin SU 1 3/ 4" carburettors with the correct jets as apposed to the standard 1 1/ 2". The car has been enjoyed in recent years with many road trips including holidays to France and Holland and has only sold to make way for a Daimler V8 with room for rear passengers. The car drives extremely well and is a real head turner, the colour scheme suiting the car perfectly. A car that can be just jumped in and enjoyed, very well sorted with no issues and without problems. The oil pressure is very good and the overdrive working correctly on the gearbox. Although now MOT exempt a fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Finance arranged. Free U. K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information.
