to present this 1974.5 MGB! We've had many, many MGBs here at
Evolve. Everything from basketcase project cars to 1,000 mile
original showpieces. Of all of them this is undoubtedly the most
enjoyable to drive. The car truly feels as-new. Everything is
extremely tight, well-presented, and there are absolutely no
tendencies of concern. I wouldn't hesitate to fly in and drive home
anywhere, not something we'd usually suggest with a British
classic. Buy with confidence; this car is one of the good ones. It
is in need of nothing other than a new owner who will give it the
exercise it deserves. Exterior: - White paint is in excellent
shape. Very, very few blemishes. A couple tiny chips, nothing
significant. No dings, dents, or scuffs. The only cosmetic thing to
really knock on this car is along the driver's side trunk crease
the paint appears to have been buffed thin. There is a close up of
this in the video we've provided. - 5.5"x14" Minator wheels are in
excellent shape. Tires are close-to-new as well, and are "correct"
Seiberling 70s. - New convertible top - All glass and lenses are
clear and crack free - Backdated with chrome bumpers, in as-new
condition. Bumpers new in 2015. - Weatherstripping is all excellent
Interior: - One tiny almost-puncture on the driver's seat bottom.
Extremely minor. - All gauges are functional, as is the fan and
Kenwood radio with large speakers in the backseat area (we'll
remove if desired) - New MG-branded floormats - Odometer reads
90,930 and is functional and accurate Underbody/Under the Hood: -
Please see service history, as this car has seen a tremendous
amount of attention over the course of the last 20 years. - 1.8L
I4. 4spd manual. Non-overdrive. - Runs and drives phenomenally
well. Hands down the most well sorted MGB I've driven, and there
has been many. - Underbody is in excellent shape. Absolutely no
through rust or damage, only very minor surface rust on suspension
components and along the underside of the rockers. - Bell stainless
exhaust system is brand new. Very subtle, slightly raspy sound.
Exactly how an MGB should sound. Please reach out to Jake at
