Vehicle Description
Production of the MGB began in October 1962 just after the
production of the MGA had ceased. Though often referred to as a
roadster, the MGB had roll up windows, outside door handles and
vent wings. A Mark II version was added in 1967, and the car stayed
in production until 1980, becoming one of the most successful
British sports cars of all time, with a total of over 300,000 cars
being exported to the U.S. alone. The classic MGB's continued the
stronghold that MG had over the market of small roadsters that
began after World War II. With great styling and handling
(featuring a better suspension than MGA's) the MGB continued to
gain popularity in the United States. 1975 marked the 50th
anniversary for MG.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice driver quality MGB
roadster and in very nice mechanical condition and lots of appeal.
The engine revs well and pulls strong once its warmed up. The
4-speed manual is a smooth operator and the current owner claims a
new a new slave cylinder was in the clutch was installed.
Additionally, the car has newer tires mounted on the factory steel
wheels and new brakes are installed underneath as well. The current
owner has had the car for the last ten years and claims it came out
of California.
Finished in a stunning shade of British Racing Green (BRG) over
tan, this MGB has a classic vibe to it. The paintwork is in good
shape and shows evenly. The chrome trim is nice and bright. The top
appears to be decent apart from a small rip near the rear window
that can be easily stitched back up. The interior is nice with
clean and stain free seats, uncracked dash and working instruments.
The car has a working fan as well as lights and stereo. But who
cares, this is a car that is meant to be out on the road and
enjoyed. Enjoy the car shows and drive a great vehicle or open up
the wallet and bring this car back to its glory and ride the wave
of appreciation over the next several years. They made a fair
amount of these, but very few are left on the road that retain so
much original equipment and haven't fallen victim to the rust
monster that many of these have.
