GarageScout Take

This 1979 MGB has been extensively modified with a 3.9L Rover V8 and T5 manual transmission, representing a significant departure from original specification.

Strengths

  • Documented build with supporting records
  • Recent high-quality repaint in Laser Red
  • Includes vintage-style upgrades such as an Astrali wood-rimmed steering wheel
  • Performance enhancements including Isky Racing camshaft and Edelbrock intake

Watch For

  • Extensive modifications diverge from stock MGB values
  • Non-original engine and drivetrain configuration
  • Potential challenges for buyers seeking factory-original restorations
