1974 MGB Roadster, Restored
California car
This is a
very nice MGB that has been in California all its life and there is absolutely
no rust anywhere. It still has its original rocker panels, dog legs and all floors. It has has heavy duty undercoating since new. The
body is straight and the paint is recent and very nice. There are a couple of
tiny blems but overall a very nice job. Color sanded and polished for a great
finish in British Racing Green.
The engine
has been rebuilt and has a few thousand miles only. The previous owner had the
car for over 25 years and looked after it well. It drives very nicely and
everything works. It starts easily with the manual choke and idles nicely. Oil
pressure is a solid 60 lbs. cold and 50 at hot idle. The four speed
transmission shifts easily and is smooth. It has a stainless steel exhaust
system. The dash is like new. It has an electric cooling fan as required here
in CA. The brakes are great and the car stops straight. Tires are good and the
Rostyle wheels were just repainted. All the chrome is nice. This the last year
for chrome bumpers and it has the nicer dash with ventilation!
The interior
is very nice in the dark Autumn Leaf color. Carpets are like new. The top is
good but there are two small seam splits on the back that don’t affect the fit
or seal. The windscreen is brand new. There is a tonneau cover in the trunk
along with the original jack in its bag and the tonneau support rods. I took
the roll bar out for more room but will reinstall if you wish.
This is a
very nice driving car that can be used as much as you want. It is a pleasure to
drive at any speed and feels rock solid on the road. A long term caring owner
kept it ready to go!
Feel free to
email for more pictures. I have the car advertised elsewhere and reserve the
right to remove it from ebay.
