MGB for £72k

[SrMoreno]

I don't know anything about Frontline, but this price looks incredible: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C517489

The advert says the first buyer kept it for a year, having spent £84k on it . Is there much chance of finding another buyer?

the company may be the reason for the sale

72k for an MGB, ouch. Must be a bit brain dead to pay that for one, I paid 3k for mine! Strange how it still wears a 60's 'H' reg numberplate as I doubt it has many original components! In fact it's not really a MGB at all, just a kit car with a MG shell!

They're a highly regarded tuning company I think. They build the car from scratch using modern uprated performance parts and an uprated mx5 engine. Turns it in to a proper performance car, but not for me though, I'll stick with the original

i thought these were 50k new in 2012. would love one but not at that price.

sorry I'm not allowed by PH posting rules

on a totally unrelated subject to move away from getting into trouble I was watching the Lance Armstrong program last night, he got away with it for a long time and had lots of people singing his praise until the very end

Darren you're both wrong and right on the main point

you've just read about them some of us have been closer

With the exent of modifications from original would these not need to go through the IVA system?

whatever happens that car is still on a 1969-70 'H' plate

I see Frontline have an advertising feature on the main page today. It provides a few more details about the work they do to the cars:

They're trying to justify the price in the same way Eagle justify charging £650k + for the Eagle Speedster.

Significant re-engineering. Choice of trim. Modern brakes and cooling. Air Con. etc..

The problem is it's still an MGB.

So good in fact that the owner did only 3k miles in it. Total crap.
