This MG MGB (VIN GHN323995) is a 1964 roadster with quite a backstory. It was a former stocker that was converted for race duty by the first owner shortly after the original purchase. The car competed in several amateur classes for almost a decade before being put into long term storage, only to be brought out 18 years later and de-tuned to function as a daily driver for the owner’s college bound son. It was then recommissioned four years later as a track ready machine and went on to race for another 10 years before being sold to the current and second owner, who has kept it active on the local vintage circuits. Find it here on eBay in Moseley, Virginia with a BIN of $28, 950.

The list of modifications is a long one, and apart from the decals, some exterior changes are readily apparent, such as the short cowl in place of the factory windshield, cool headlight fairings, hood pins, and Sebring-style rear valance. Wilwood Superlite disc brakes sit behind the golden-hued Minilite wheels up front, and the rears are MGB drums with upgraded Carbotech pads and shoes. Hoosier Street bias ply tires round out the traction department.

A race ready cockpit awaits with a full complement of Autometer gauges, a quick release steering wheel, floor hinged pedals, lower roll cage with driver’s hoop, and a fire suppression system with fuel shut off valve, while the custom Butler racing seat is sure to keep you in place during those high load corners. It’s all business in here, and the decades of competition have left their indelible marks behind.

Looking underneath will get you a glimpse of the modified oil pan, performance stainless exhaust, upgraded control arms, and large oil cooler mounted just under the grille. The Quaife five speed transmission runs through a limited slip rear end, and the forward cross member has also been lightened. The rear setup consists of SPAX adjustable shocks, lowering blocks, and a Fab-Tek anti-sway bar.

The 1840cc motor was prepped by a noted MG race shop specialist in the mid-west, and was shown to be pushing 170 HP on the dyno. Dual SU carbs, K&N filters, and a Mallory/MSD ignition system keeps things firing properly, while the large Howe aluminum radiator cools everything down. Additional photos show a proper fuel cell is mounted in the trunk.

If you’re in the market for a turn key and proven entry into the world of vintage competition, number 95 could be worth a look.
