This 1965 MG MGB roadster is a bespoke build currently owned by television personality and record executive Simon Cowell and was constructed by Frontline Developments for a reported total cost of approximately $210,447.55 (converted from £158,782.80). Based in Oxfordshire, England, Frontline Developments is a 30-year-old company that produces a limited number of restored and upgraded MGs every year. According to Motor Authority, "Like Singer is to the Porsche 911 and Eagle is to the Jaguar E-Type, Frontline Developments is a re-invention specialist for the MG and other British sports cars." With a design inspired by one of the two Lotus Esprits featured in the 1981 James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only," the new body shell with extended hand-formed rear panels comes finished in Lotus Copper Bronze with dual gold stripes and features bespoke 15-inch wheels with gold spokes. Inside the two-seater cabin, white leather covers the bucket seats, door panels, and center console; black leather tops the custom-fabricated American Burr Walnut dashboard, which houses a bank of handmade gold-faced gauges. Amenities include power windows, Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging, and a JL Audio sound system. Power is supplied by a Mazda 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with forged pistons and solid lifters, and sent to the road through a Mazda 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip rear differential. Available now, this custom left-hand-drive MGB comes with a build sheet with a pricing breakdown, a fitted car cover, and a clear title.
