Russ Ewing's Silver Member 1967 MG MGB GT
or to vote for this car or leave a comment

Purchased in 1987. At that time the car was black (painted directly over the top of British Racing Green). The prior owner was located in Fort Ord California and sold it through his brother (I believe) who lived in Alexandria, Va.

A year long restoration was completed in May 2001 by Bob Wanta (R.I.P) and Dean Powers of Bob's Foreign Auto in Milford, CT. (which is now closed) The interior was a special order from Moto-Build in England.

2024 Engine rebuild by Crown Classic Cars of Teddington, Frontline front suspension + BCC calipers + 5 speed gearbox

Thanks for all the comments! The interior is one I order from the UK and is a custom
color. I don't remember the name of the shop that did it offhand, but I have the docs
and contact info. For more pix check out the mg experience website!

That is a stunning silver. Do you have any idea what was used? Not too
dark and not too light. Perfect!

Is that thing still running? Kidding of course. You didn't mention in the description that your high school buddy told you to buy that car! Beautiful car buddy! - RS

I've had many questions on the color. Here is the detail. The color is Silver Grey Metallic and was from 1965 E-Types. The Dupont Lacquer Code is 8315L. Hope this helps!

Just a beautiful car. Colour is beautiful, as are the wheels. Do you have any recent photos or possibly photos of the interior? Thanks!
