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.

• SPAX adjustable front shocks.

• Poly bushes front and rear.

• Custom rear deck.
