Mgb Roadster Race car for sale

Ex Cockshoot Cup Championship Winner 1950cc

1973 roadster with great provenance

This car has had many class wins and won the MG car club North West Cockshoot Cup Championship outright in 1993 in the hands of the then owner.

We spoke at great length and he told me what a pleasure it was to drive. I have his details on file along with photos, time sheets and even a mid 1990's race programme.

It has competed at just about every UK circuit and attended the MG Annual at Silverstone many many times as a competitor. (see dashboard plaques)

I’ve just been right through the car so it’s ready to go racing again, whether this be circuit racing, sprint or hill climbing.

Luckily it’s also road registered (now tax and mot exempt) so can even be driven to events if you so wish!

Engine is a 1950cc B series, over bored with larger pistons etc
