1972 MGB GT
It is a 1972 model but with a chrome rather than the mesh grill. The lever arm shock absorbers have been replaced with telescopic units at the back and telescopic coil-over units with upper wishbones at the front. The rear brakes are standard but the front has Rover SD1 4 pot calipers gripping MGB V8 rotors.
The reason for the suspension and brake upgrade is under the MGC bulge in the bonnet.
A 16 valve 2 litre twin-cam Zetec engine mated to a Type 9 5 speed 'box replaces the original B series lump.
