Phil Griffin's 1972 MG MGB GT

“The B”
My summer daily driver. Originally an Ontario car that now has a new home on the right coast of Canada. Paint and custom upholstery done in Ontario in 2008.
In my now seven years of ownership I have rebuilt the carbs, ignition, suspension and brakes, repaired relatively minor rust, repaired and modified the electrics, installed a custom stereo with kick panel speaker build-outs and a sub and amp in the spare tire well, and installed a replacement O/D tranny. New Silverstone alloys with 195/60-15 Goodyears and bigger front sway bar in 2021. It still has the original unopened engine now with 120,000 miles. I'm working on a replacement 18V with considerably more power. This one's a keeper!
