This beautiful car was restored in two phases. In 2005, the body was restored, adding a burled walnut dashboard and steering wheel. New cloth covered wiring harness, stereo/cd changer (under dash), rebuilt transmission, new steering rack, electric cooling fan, dual battery tray with external terminals, and a kill switch, all located behind passenger seat. I purchased this car in 2012, and continued the restoration. In 2016, the restoration was completed, and includes a new MGB 1800 cc engine (installed at 37, 953 miles) , rebuilt 3.9 MGB differential, new brakes, gas gauge sending unit, custom aluminum high performance radiator, rebuilt twin SU carburetors, fan shroud, and oil cooler installed by Vintage Restorations, LTD. The speedometer was completely rebuilt, and reinstalled with a new speedometer cable. A new mohair three window top was installed, and has a zippered rear window that can be opened for better top up ventilation. Both seat cushions are new. The side curtains and tonneau cover are in good condition. The Vredestein high performance tires have slightly over 2700 miles on them; and the spare tire is new with a used cover. The car has new jack and tire changing equipment. The 15 wire wheels are chrome painted and in good condition. This car has always been garaged since my purchase.
I have driven this car on some wonderful trips, and she is a great driver! I have over $40, 000. invested in this car, but have to sell as I am moving and can't take her with us.
