MGBGTV8
rebuilds in the style of Sebring MGs
It's not often you see two MGBGTV8 rebuilds in the Sebring style and
offered for sale in the same month.
Modifications and the extent they may be felt to have on originality
of classic cars like MGV8s has always been a topic where various views
and passions exist. Alongside we have two examples of major modifications
of MGs that each created very individual MGBGTV8s in the style of
the former MG works Sebring competition cars. The creation of each
car was clearly driven by a passion for the look and feel of the Sebring
model and the aims behind each mode, lincluding the choice of upgrades
that were added to each car. The result is two wonderful MGV8s.
