Vehicle Description
Offered here is a two-owner, 55,000-mile 1973 MG MGB GT Coupe. This
car was purchased and imported new to its final destination in Ann
Arbor by a University of Michigan professor in 1973. Our client, an
Alpena, MI native, purchased the car in April of 1984 and has owned
it ever since. Besides a decade old re-spray in factory Carmine,
new carpet, new Black leather seats, a rebuilt Weber carb, and a
new radiator and fuel lines installed this spring, the car remains
100-percent original.
This little British GT coupe is powered by the original 1.8L
(1798cc)/78.5hp 4-Cylinder motor mated to the original 4-speed
manual gearbox with rear-wheel drive. The car was just serviced by
Downtown Union 76, a specialty shop in Alpena; it starts, runs, and
drives exceptionally well. The car also comes with the original
spare, owner's manual, shop book, parts book, extra carpeting
pieces, and two sets of keys, including the originals. The 33-year
owner has tried to keep this car as original as possible and has
always stored it in a climate-controlled garage.
1973 marked the final full year of the chrome-bumper before the
switch to rubber. This car was produced in October of 1972, just a
couple months after the first 1973 models started production in
August. It is an awesome car for a very reasonable price - you will
be hard-pressed to find another one this clean with all ownership
history and low miles. Call or e-mail if interested. Thank you for
looking.
