Select a bumper

  • Chrome Bumper (Road Tax Exempt)

    When we receive a donor MGB it almost always shows age on the bright works. The chrome bumpers and grilles are almost always removed and replaced. This ensures that your MGB looks like new again.

    • Ref: #BU005
    • Price: £1650
    Choose
  • Sebring Bumpers (Road Tax Exempt)

    Using a tax exempt donor car, that is to say a pre-1973 model, and then adding the Sebring front and rear body panels gives the MG a more modern bumperless look. The new fibreglass panels are then sculpted and filled to create a seamless appearance on the body panels.

    • Ref: #BU003
    • Price: £2100
    Choose
  • Rubber Bumper

    In 1974, in order to meet US impact regulations, the chrome bumper over-riders where replaced with a new, steel-reinforced black rubber bumper at the front which incorporated the grille area as well, giving a major restyling to the B’s nose. A matching rear bumper completed the change. These cars were nicknamed “Sabrinas” after the well-endowed actress of the time, but the modification added extra safety to the vehicle.

  • Sebring Bumpers

Select a colour

  • Metallic

    The metallic colours which were originally used mainly on the MGB LE models may be selected, but naturally we can finish your car in any colour you wish. If you have a particular colour planned, please select ‘other’ and give us details in the ‘NOTES’ section at the end.

    • Ref: #CO002
    • Price: £770

  • Standard

    The standard original factory colours for the MGB may be selected however we can do any colour you wish. If so, please select ‘other’ and make a note of it at the end.

    • Ref: #CO001
    • Price: £00


    Choose
  • Pearl

    The modern pearlescent effect is produced by ‘the specular reflection of light from the many surfaces of the platelets with parallel orientation at various depths within the coating.’ This effectively gives the impression the car is changing colour as it moves. As it would be impossible to put down every blend but please add to the ‘notes’ at the end as to the effect you would like.

    • Ref: #CO003
    • Price: £2400

Select a roof

  • Webasto Sun Roof

    The renowned Webasto sliding roof gives you the open-air experience of a soft top but leaves you with the look of the GT. The Webasto is made of a black leatherette and the rest of the roof may be made to match in leatherette or left in the body colour.

    • Ref: #RO002
    • Price: £1980


    Choose

Select wheels

  • 15inc Chrome Wire Wheels

    Usually found on the MGC the 15 inch wire wheels add a muscular stance and look to the B. This option includes a fully-matching spare wheel.

    • Ref: #WH005
    • Price: £2100
    Choose
  • Chrome Wire Wheels

    The chrome wire wheels are a must for most MGB fans. The talk in many MG car clubs is of proud owners completing their dream by adding wire wheels to their Bs. A fully matching spare wheel is included in this option.

    • Ref: #WH004
    • Price: £1540
    Choose
  • Painted Wire Wheels

    Bead-blasting and painting, or a similar process, is an alternative treatment for wire wheels and for some is an easier and affordable alternative to chrome wire wheels. Less maintenance is required. This option includes a matching spare wheel.

    • Ref: #WH003
    • Price: £1320


    Choose
  • Rostyle

    The Rostyle is the classic wheel for the MGB, with its distinctive contrasting detail. A matching spare is included.

    • Ref: #WH001
    • Price: £00
    Choose
  • Minilite

    Other than the Rostyle the Minilites are the most common wheels for the B. Truly evocative of the era, this option includes a matching spare.

Select an engine

  • V8 3528cc Rover Engine

    The V8 version of the car will go to from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in around 8 seconds, and go on to a respectable 125 mph (201 km/h) top speed. As it has aluminium cylinder block and heads, the Rover V8 engine actually weighed approximately forty pounds less than the standard B engine. This means that it does not lose speed due to weight and the handling is not compromised.

Select brakes

  • Standard Discs and Drums

    Standard front discs and rear drums. This is the factory-standard for the original braking system. However, some early models did not have servo-assisted brakes.  All our cars have this essential safety feature as standard.

    • Ref: #BR001
    • Price: £00
    Choose
  • Modern Disc front and back

    Changing the drums and discs for more modern discs all round will improve the braking significantly. Not original, however this should be seriously considered especially if a larger engine like the V8 or 2000cc version has been selected. The colour option is for the callipers, which are most visible if wire wheels have been selected. Many wheels also reveal the calliper so this is an option regardless of wheel type.

Select an extra

  • Amplifier

    A modern car stereo might look out of place installed in the centre console. Instead we can fit a high-quality integrated stereo mini-amplifier hidden under the passenger footwell linked to modern speakers mounted in the door and rear inner wheel arches. Then the mini-amp can have a MP3 or any other device connected to its AUX port. This gives you excellent sound quality and connectivity whilst retaining the classic look.

    • Ref: #EX016
    • Price: £245

  • Rear Lap Belts

    Although not a legal or MOT requirement, if the rear bench is to be used as a seat this should be an upgrade you specify.

    • Ref: #EX014
    • Price: £154
    Choose
  • Rally Lights

    A pair of single  rally driving lights wired to come on with the high beam and placed In front of the grill. These have a separate switch so they can be set to ‘off’ as required. These are only for show purposes as the MOT requirements mean they must be set to ‘off’ when on a public road.

    • Ref: #EX010
    • Price: £85
    Choose
  • Spoiler

    A very rare sight is the B with a spoiler. The Silverfield spoiler however is not a large wing that might detract from the B’s good looks but a small shelf-style addition on the boot of the GT or Roadster. The fibreglass spoiler is fitted, filled and sculpted so it becomes a seamlessly integrated part of the boot lid.

    • Ref: #EX013
    • Price: £275
    Choose
  • Bonnet Bulge

    The bonnet bulge was originally found on the MGC to allow for its larger engine and air intakes, but although this is now effectively for ‘looks only’ it has a certain visual appeal that once made some B fans envious of this bulkier brother. Your car can have this modification on request.

    • Ref: #EX012
    • Price: £710
    Choose
  • Sebring Wings

    This modification gives a more muscular look to the B and an incredibly modern one especially if the Sebring bumpers are also chosen. As with all Silverfield bodywork, any fibreglass elements are seamlessly blended and sculpted into the shape of your car.

    • Ref: #EX005
    • Price: £835
    Choose
