Vehicle Description
The MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed by the
British Motor Corporation (BMC). Variants include the MGBGT
three-door 2+2 coup� (1965-80). Mechanically, the MGB was little
changed for 1970, retaining its 1,798cc pushrod engine, four-speed
all-synchro transmission, and all the familiar running gear.
However, it was given a light facelift and "Leylandized" with a new
recessed black-out grille, as well as 1970 only split rear bumper.
The MGB GT sported a ground-breaking greenhouse designed by
Pininfarina and launched the sporty "hatchback" style. By combining
the sloping rear window with the rear deck lid, the B GT offered
the utility of a station wagon while retaining the style and shape
of a coupe.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this one of a kind 1970 MGB
GT. A lot of time and craftsmanship went into making this GT what
it is. Starting with the engine the normal 1800cc was bored out to
1924cc, the crankshaft was polished, hardened, and oil holes were
drilled in the #2 and #4 journals. According to the owner, there is
an updated oil pump, ARP fasteners, rolling rockers, and hardened
exhaust valve seats for unleaded gas. There is a 4-speed manual
transmission with overdrive and a Vernier timing gear set. The
paint has been recently done with the restoration and is in a
beautiful white with lots chrome accents including the recently
done front and rear bumper. New drip molding finishers on both
sides, new windshield, rubber glazing, and aluminum finishing
pieces. The hood and rear hatch were converted to gas strut lift
kits, driving lights added to the front the original wire wheels
were changed to alloy sport wheels, there is also a stainless steel
exhaust system. From the interior you will notice lots of updates
with the Red custom deluxe leather upholstery, dash recovered and
dyed to match the upholstery, molded tunnel carpet kit, Working Air
Conditioniong, Bristleflex door seals, and heated seats made with
carbon fiber, according to the owner there is a new headliner, sun
visors, and mirrors. There is a full folder of receipts that
document everything that has been done. This is one of the nicest
looking, running and driving MGB GT's on the market. It would be
impossible to duplicate this car for the asking price.
