Vehicle Description
One of the most popular English sports cars ever imported into the
United States, the MG B is handsome, rugged and fabulously fun to
drive. This particular MG B takes a well-known and beloved car into
a totally new dimension.
During restoration 10 years ago the owner decided to give the peppy
roadster a powerful boost and installed the well-regarded Rover 3.9
liter V8. Amazingly this American designed aluminum block engine is
actually 50 pounds lighter than the original and considerably less
powerful MG 4 cylinder. So the car has that famous MG handling with
way more horses.
The Rover engine delivers its power through a three speed automatic
transmission with long gears making it an ideal highway
cruiser.
That restoration was complete including new red paint and a new top
which fits over a collapsible frame which provides for a useable
trunk. Mini lite wheels were added at that time.
MG Bs have always been a fun car but this Rover powered "hot rod"
is extra fun.
