NICE EARLY MGB WITH REBUILT 3 MAIN ENGINE, REBUILT SU CARBS. NICE BODY AND LEATHER INTERIOR.I have owned this car for several years but i need to sell it due to a pending move. Has rebuilt 3 main engine with mechanical tach drive.
Has correct pull handle doors, steel dash, no visible rust. good paint, very nice interior. comes with new carpet in box but I never felt the carpet in the car warranted replacing, although it shows a little wear.
The car had a nice amatuer restortation prior to my purchase and at that time I could find no rust. In doing the engine swap I did discover some bondo filling some smaller holes along the edge of the front floors and small hole in the front dogleg. The chassis is tight and solid.no rust at jack points. I am including pictures for you. Its been this way for years and should not deteriorated any in the years I have owned it. I do keep it inside. While this keeps this car from being a $20000 mgb it does not keep it from being a great driver even weekend car show participant. I owned the car a couple years before I even saw it.
I also put a brand new gas tank in it as the old one was rusty inside and I didn't want to risk my freshly professionaly rebuilt SU carbs to rust. Also has new Monza exhaust which sounds great and makes up for lack of radio!.
Pictures tell the story. A good driver. Tires have good tread but are old, probably over 10 years so I would replace before attempting a cross country or spirited drive through the ozarks.
I get complements on this car whenever I take it out. It has been garage kept during my ownership as well as the guy I bought it from. I have probably put 100 miles on the car since I bought it. I just have too many cars. I have owned several MGAs and thought I would try a B. Turns out I drove my Miata a lot more (sorry British purists!). I have a TR3 that I will continue to work on restoring...
Upgrades from original include gear reduction starter, electronic distributor, modern fuel pump with pressure regulator, monza exhaust (sounds great!). and rear telescopic shock conversion. Also running one 12v battery now. all could be replaced with original style parts if desired.
Please email any questions prior to purchase.. Be sure to check terms to be sure you can comply. If you have read the description, you will have no dissapointments.
Clear Arkansas title in my name. Actual miles unknown, I put 100000 in description fields just to fill the space. Engine has less than 100 miles since complete overhaul, including carb rebuild.
Also included and not shown is a roll bar that came with the car and quite a few spare parts (as is customary with MG sales it seems!)
IF YOU COME HERE TO PICK UP THE CAR AND ARE DISAPPOINTED IN ANY WAY I WILL REFUND YOUR DEPOSIT IN FULL AND THE CAR STAYS HERE, NO PROBLEM.
