Beautiful example.......57,000 miles, virtually perfect, rust
free floor/sills/rockers, excellent body with excellent Tahiti blue
ORIGINAL PAINT AFTER 38 YEARS!!!!!!!), 32 DGV Weber carb with
tubular racing headers, complete professional chrome bumper
conversion, new bumpers, guards, Mk I grille, new lights, wire
wheels, new splined hub adapters, new chrome knock offs, lowered to
pre 1974 1/2 ride height, new front bushings, a LOT of work went
into this car. We even spent more money to eliminate the side
lights so that the exterior is identical to a 1962-1968 MGB,. The
best looking of all.
Compression: 140-145 psi in every cylinder, zero smoke, 70 psi oil
pressure (all 'as new'), excellent transmission, running, driving.
New top, wood dashboard, new Sony stereo with USB input, leather
steering wheel, excellent Autumn Leak interior.
Whats nice about this late model car is the refinements so often
overlooked. As one of the last MGBs, servo assist disc brakes,
front and rear sway bars, bigger gauges, better controls,
electronic ignition, thermostatically controlled cooling fan, in
some ways, sort of like 35% Honda/Toyota and 65% classic English
sports car. Simple, reliable, stylish, and (perhaps most
important)....fun.
We can also install modern (and very effective) air conditioning
which makes this car an interesting alternative to a contemporary
sports car. Okay, will not do 0-60 in four seconds but is that
REALLY that important? For normal use, cruising at any practical
speed, great handling, a rust free, excellent MGB is just about
perfect.
This car was owned (and babied) by an MGB car club member and is
one of the cleanest, nicest original MGBs we have ever seen.
ABSOLUTELY rust free and with perfect fit of everything. Even the
original jack and jack bag. Runs and drives wonderfully and would
be an ideal classic to use as an alternative to a contemporary
car.
