MG Hot Wheels
► Using recycled parts engineer Michael Wallhead’s build won out of 274 entrantThe 1979 MGB GT nicknamed adequately as ‘B-EAST’ has been announced competition winner for the Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK 2023. The MG is now set to represent the UK on a global scale, competing for the chance to be recreated as a scale die-cast model.
Plucked from over 270 entries, Michael’s magnificent mash-up of recycled parts is a sight to behold and is a unique blend of old and new.The B-EAST is a finely tuned symphony of parts from different cars. Look under the bonnet and you’re met with a meticulously tuned Jaguar AJV6 engine, offering a top speed of 148mph and 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. To get this engine to work in the MGB Michael had to install a Range Rover prop shaft, Nissan Silvia brakes, and the rear axle from a Reliant Scimitar.
The interior was completely refurbished, with a set of racing seats being taken apart with their frames exposed and trimmed in denim from recycled pairs of jeans. Overall, the build has taken Michael eight years to create, and he has no plans of stopping soon, confessing that he doesn’t think it will ever actually be finished.The Hot Wheels Legends Tour is a global competition that unites car enthusiasts, giving them the ability to showcase their creative skill and compete for the chance to have their project car made in a 16:4 scale Hot Wheels model.
