5.0L-Powered, Safari-Style 1966 MG MGB Roadster 5-Speed Project

The distinctive vehicle for sale is a robust project car, a 1966 MG MGB Roadster, which has been imaginatively transformed into a safari-style roadster. Originally manufactured in the United Kingdom in 1966, this classic British convertible was acquired by its current owner in 2018 and subsequently underwent comprehensive modifications to create its unique character. Notably, it has been re-powered with a formidable Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a robust T5 five-speed manual transmission, offering an exhilarating driving experience. To accommodate the powerful engine, the car features a narrowed Toyota rear axle fitted with a limited-slip differential for improved traction and stability. For added versatility and capability, the suspension has been lifted, allowing it to traverse varied terrains with ease. The seller has further enhanced this project MGB's off-road prowess by equipping it with substantial 15" tires on classic steel wheels. Despite its rugged revisions, this MG MGB Roadster remains a charming convertible with timeless style, embodying the spirit of vintage British motorsport.
