This is a very nice example of the 1967 MGB Roadster that is a
wonderfully nice driving car that presents itself well. Being a
Southern California car, this MG is without rust and is a very
honest and original car. Having one repaint in Racing Green it
looks terrific with its painted wire wheels. This MG has been
professionally serviced and is ready to enjoy!! Our consignment
client has sold off his collection which had included a Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost, a Bentley and others. This is his last remaining
collector car. He has owned this MGB for the past seven years and
bought it in Santa Clara, CA. The reason this car spoke to him is
its honesty. Having the original tools, jacks, hardtop, top frame
and all the original storage bags is almost unheard of these days.
When he purchased it, it had the sheepskin seat covers installed
(included in the sale). He was impressed upon removing them to find
the original black vinyl interior still in nice condition. Even the
optional black hardtop is in nice original condition. The Racing
Green paint is in overall good condition with very nice shine and
luster. There are several areas where there are little chips,
orange peel and other minor defects that are noticeable upon close
inspection. The largest area is on the drivers front fender where
there is a 1.5 inch long and .25 inch wide area of poor paint prep.
It is right in the crease and hard to see, but we included a close
up in the photo gallery. The chrome is overall excellent. Only the
drivers side bullet mirror shows minor pitting. The glass is very
nice with a few wiper scratches on the drivers side of the
windshield. Overall, we love the look of the Racing Green livery
with wire wheels, true knock offs, the bullet mirror and the trunk
rack!!! Classic British!! The black vinyl upholstery on the seats,
dashboard and door panels are all believed to be original. The
black seats are contrasted with white piping and are in terrific
original condition for the age. There are no rips or issues on the
seats themselves, just minor cracking on the piping. The black dash
is excellent with no cracking or issues, confirming a life led
inside a garage. The steering wheel and other interior trim are
also in excellent condition. The black carpet is new and the car
comes with the collapsible top, a very original and vintage black
vinyl convertible top and tonneau cover. The convertible top has
one tear on the drivers side and the triple plastic windows are
slightly discolored from age. The MGB comes with its original black
removable hardtop that is in very nice condition. The engine
compartment is in excellent condition and is well detailed. This
MGB is set up well for touring or local shows. The 1.8 liter four
cylinder engine has excellent compression with each cylinder
ranging from 170 to 180 ft lbs from a recent leak down compression
test. The dual SU carbs work well and the four speed transmission
is a pleasure to drive. The brakes have recently been serviced with
new rotors, pads and brakes lines. Receipts for recent work are
available for inspection. This car flew through our 158 point
inspection. Everything works as it should. The report is available
for your review. The undercarriage is as nice as you would expect
being a Southern California car. There are none of the common rust
issues. This is just a terrific solid and honest survivor. The car
is complete with the original jack, top components, spare wire
wheel, lead hammer and all the storage bags that you never see. It
also comes with a car cover, the sheepskin seat covers and a large
number of spare parts. Service receipts will accompany the car as
well. For more information and details, call, text or email Harry
