1968 MGC Sebring Replica Race Car Tribute:
In the late 1960’s, the MG Car Company Works Department
built two (2) lightweight aluminum bodied MGC race cars to compete in the 12
hour Sebring endurance race. This
is a very close replica of those cars, but with all steel bodywork. Fiberglass replicas are available in the UK costing much more than my Buy It Now price. This car has NO fiberglass, and the
metalwork bill alone on my final empty body shell was $30k.
This car is the result of a 10 year effort with
little expense spared. I had
access to MBL-546E (one of the two original race cars) which resides nearby, and have added accurate details not found on other replicas.
Brief Summary of build features:
• 100% steel body hand rolled on an English Wheel.
• All fuel, hydraulic and electrical lines run inside the bodywork as per the race cars.
• Engine
balanced, flywheel lightened by 7.5 lbs, mild Iskenderian street cam (perfect
for daily driving), custom Ron Davis aluminum radiator, flowed intake manifold, Maniflow headers ceramic coated and wrapped, dual 2 in. SU carbs, Pertronix
ignition.
• Custom
exhaust exiting in front of rear wheel as per original race cars.
• 4 speed
4-synchro Overdrive transmission.
• Full roll
cage welded to frame (no side bars on entry ways to make it easier to get in
and out).
• US spec metal
dashboard (US spec “rubber” dash removed).
• Period Les
Leston aluminum racing wheel, racing seats with 4 point harness.
• Double fuel
pump as per original race cars (double solenoid SU pump from Jag) mounted in
correct internal aft position with inertia switch.

adjustable front shocks.

deck.

MANY more written details with pictures and video on
