1972 MGB race car
Road legal with MOT April and tax exempt
We bought this car to race two years ago - it hadn't been raced for a couple of years so was overhauled by MG Motorsport at fair expense ready for the 2013 season. Unfortunately a mix of health and time issues means we can't race any more so have decided to sell our team car. She's a good solid honest race car, with current MOT, and we're sad to see her go. But times move on.
Maintained with annual service by MG Motorsport during our ownership and annual rolling road sessions with the great Peter Baldwin. We have done 2 races and 2 track days in 2 years, and the odd road drive to keep things moving.
The fibreglass is a bit scruffy but sound, there's some rust in the wheelarches but nothing structural and no advisories on the last two MOTs.
