Classic cars can stir the soul. The way they sound and feel from inside the cabin is unique. Of course, they often lack the precision, luxury, and performance modern automotive enthusiasts have come to love. That’s where Frontline Cars come into play with its restomod MGB. This isn’t a fly-by-night brand hoping for an influx of cash after showing off a render or two. No, Frontline Cars have been around for three decades. In that time, it’s proven that it’s a bonafide restomod specialist capable of truly gorgeous creations. Now, its first V8 MGB, the V8 LE60, is about to make its American debut at Monterey Car Week.
The model was first revealed back in
September of 2023. Specs are unchanged from that time. Under the hood is a
Rover V8 with 375 hp, or roughly four times what this car came with
originally. That power is fed to the
rear wheels only via a Tremec manual transmission and a limited-slip
differential. The chassis has been strengthened over the original car and a
wider track for more stable performance.
The big deal here really is that Frontline
Cars is coming to North America. The car coming to the states is left-hand
drive and will be available for demonstrations and test drives. Pricing isn’t
currently public but the company does offer sales of pre-owned cars on its
site. Those range from US$ 120,000 to US$ 147,000. All of them are of the
four-cylinder variety though so expect any new bespoke version of the V8 LE60
to cost quite a bit more.
