I've been making a pretty half-hearted attempt to sell my MGB-GT street/race
car for the past year and She Who Must Be Obeyed says it's gotta go...and
she wantsa me to put it on eBay!!! I always thought eBay was where you buy
stuff, not sell. Anyway, she's probably right....since I got the Midget
back running, the GT has sat idle. And it sits too low for it's wheelbase
to clear the sill of my barn (typical dairy barn dirt ramp). So, it sits in
my neighbor's garage....who is on her way back from Florida as I type,
driving her dead mother's '81 Benz oilburner. I see the writing on the
wall.
Anybody interested in a solid, low mileage (48,000), street-legal vintage
race '68 B-GT?
Contact me off-list and I can email you details and photos. Basically, this
car was prepared by the former technical editor of Automobile Magazine for a
series of articles on entry-level vintage racing with inexpensive British
street cars. It is prepared much like the Works endurance race entries of
the mid-1960's-- streetable motor with ported head and 10:1 C/R, cam,
header, sidedraft Weber, center-lock alloys, basic race prep and equipment
(passed annual tech for VSCDA), etc.
Cruise on Fridays, race on Sundays! Runs mid-pack in Group 8 with the 1600
Alfas, 914 poor Shahs, and TR-3's. I came in 4th in the MG Vintage Racer's
feature race at RoadAmerica last year, which wurn't too shoddy.
Asking $7,000, which is quite a bit less than what it cost to build. I
don't need another race car, but I would talk trade value for a pre-'67 B
roadster, MG-C, MG-V8, Mini Cooper, or maybe a Buick Reatta for the old
woman.
