OVERVIEW-THIS PARTICULAR 1976 MGB
This 1976 MGB comes to us, as do most of our vehicles, from a local referral. This MGB was cherished by its one, long-time owner until he passed away recently. The only reason for the MG's sale is the dissolution of the estate that include this MGB, a restored 1952 MGTD, a lovely, restored 1955 MG Magnette ZA, and a 2000 Jaguar S-Type. We are selling the entire collection and ask that you contact us should you have an interest in any of these fantastic MG's.
This car is in absolutely tremendous condition and was used primarily as an occasional weekend car and to show at car shows where it garnered a number of awards including a prestigious Best of Show. While the MGB is a very high level car, the cars previous owner would not classify it as a full blown show car. The B can still be used and enjoyed on the weekends and, as a car to show or attend special club events. It is, however, an exceptionally well cared for and highly documented B.
