I like MGB-GTs, and I like the ratty/outlaw vibe. I'd build it with a more retro looking set of wheels and a less austere interior. Unfortunately, my car building days are done, so I'll have to dream about cars like this in videos.
Funny how things all depend on perspective. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Japanese car guy, and I'd call those classic for sure, but my mind first jumps to Hayashi Streets. I think MGBs are 4x114.3, just like tons of classic Japanese RWD cars, so they could be Cosmics, Hayashis, or any one of a bunch of replicas.
I just watched that episode yesterday. Very cool car. He was also the guy who built the world's fastest trash can.
And I absolutely love those wheels. They remind me of the wheels that Per had on his LeGrand.
I like the wheels, just not on a B-GT. They'd look good on my MINI, for example, or a Miata. If I had had the MGB it would be on something resembling a Minilite, think Sebring MGB-GT. Just personal preference.
