1972 MG B GT

40th birthday present to myself :-)
Some of the mods made by the previous owner(s), some by me

  • Britax Sunroof – this was likely done by the supplying dealer as it was never an option from the factory.
  • Engine is bored over 0.60″ so it’s now an 1860cc engine instead of the standard 1798
  • Stainless steel exhaust
  • Electronic ignition instead of points
  • Tubular shock conversion (front and rear)
  • 15″ alloys instead of 14″ wheels that were standard
  • Panhard Rod to keep the rear wheels in check and stop the fatter tyres rubbing against the wheel arch
  • Set of driving lights wired into the main beam
  • Hazard light kit has been fitted as none as standard on the 1972 model
  • Halogen headlight upgrade to replace the old sealed beam units, with relays to protect the switches
  • Rolled the inner lip of the nearside rear wheel arch as I was still getting some rubbing of the tyre against the body work under “enthusiastic” cornering
  • Poly bushes all round (some bushes had already been done when I bought the car)
  • Parabolic Rear Springs replaced the old traditional leaf springs
