Could this be the ultimate old sports car?

But where's the soft top?

Yeah looks pretty good except for the hard top, soft top and roll bar all that's missing.

Depends what donor car you give them - they are just rebuilding cars and putting a few modern bits in after all - Title is a bit misleading, they are not an MG anymore when they are finished.

Its not an MG unless it has three alternative backup systems for stopping the car:

1. Brakes
2. Ignition key
3. Lucas electrics

No need for a soft top. For 55,000 pounds, you could probably buy two MX5's.

There is a character and charm with an MGB and MGBGT which have certain engine/exhaust sounds, vibration, overdrive short shift gearbox and other things which these modernised MGBGT's would lose. 55.000 pounds can be better spent on something better and more comfortable.
