Yes, that is more thoroughly modified than what Shirley did.
I still have the pics if anyone is interested ...
The radio and the pukey yellow exterior are both deal breakers.

It is sort of a light green color, or maybe some sort of yellow. I will

Later MGB cars were pretty heavily laden with smog/epa crap. That and the five
mph government mandated picnic bench they put out front make it an ugly car. I
don't remember if the later cars still had Lucas electrics (Prince of
Darkness), but if it does, and
no idea, I don't know anything about them other than they are old and
kinda cool and some guys are into them. Get some good pics and post
