- Purchased by its previous owner in 2001 as an unfinished conversion to a Sebring replica
- He undertook a complete overhaul and restoration with virtually every aspect refined, upgraded or rebuilt
- The work included correctly refitting the body panels, respraying the whole of the car in BRG, and undertaking a full mechanical rebuild. The brakes were upgraded and the engine re-bored (1950cc) and rebuilt with a big-valve head and a reprofiled Piper cam to ‘ultimate’ road spec. The car was also rewired and fitted with a stainless steel exhaust
- The interior was superbly renovated, and the seats were re-covered in Magnolia Leather piped in Green, new cashmere carpets edged in green throughout and the dashboard superbly presented in polished Burr Walnut
- All this work was completed in 2012 and is documented in a comprehensive photographic record
- Since his purchase, our vendor has only used the car lightly and the odometer currently indicates just over 9,000 miles, we imagine, since the restoration
- Recent maintenance includes a new clutch in 2019 and four new tyres in 2021
- With its mesh grille, bonnet bulge and aggressive wheel arches covering wide Minilites, this smart MG pays a respectful nod to the legendary MGC 'GTS' cars produced by the Comps Department at Abingdon to compete at Sebring in the late 1960s. With its 1950cc fast road-spec engine and revised suspension, its performance and handling should match its purposeful looks and, when things slow down, we can't think of a more delightful interior in which to enjoy some gentle touring.
