Motors.) In a real sense, every sports car ever made owes a debt to
the British two-seaters that delighted American servicemen during
World War II. The open-air, hug-the-curves, small-two-seater
driving experience captivated the Yanks, even as the soldiers'
often-enthusiastic driving styles sometimes drew disapproving
frowns from the local populace. Among British sports cars, the MG
brand was by far the most successful, and that success exploded in
1962 with the launch of the MGB. Over the next eighteen years more
than a half-million MGBs would be built at the company's Abingdon,
England works. The timeless appeal of an MGB is driven by its
compelling combination of characteristics. Foremost among them is
the pure driving experience, especially in the roadsters. Visually,
the car's design aesthetic has not lost any of its captivating
charm to this day. The interiors of the cars have a cockpit-like
focus with their Smiths® gauges, overall simplicity, and classic
British style, with just enough creature comfort to make long
drives fun. From an owner-involvement standpoint, the ability to
easily source replacement parts from multiple suppliers combined
with the model's straightforward, serviceable mechanicals mean
driveway mechanics could be just that. The many MG owners' clubs
attest to the model's special emotional connection. MGB owners
always wave when they meet each other on the open road. Offered
here is a 1972 MGB in British Racing Green over black under a back
convertible top. Originally built in March of 1972, this
well-maintained example has been comprehensively refurbished and
its performance has been enhanced with the addition of an Eaton®
supercharger. The North Carolina car's odometer currently reads
17,190 miles. The exterior sheet metal is free of dents, dings, or
other damage. The British Racing Green paint finish is excellent
with a deep, reflective shine and the barest minimum of light
patina from age. It is arguably the perfect color for this model.
Chrome bumpers (with bumperettes front and rear) and the classic MG
slotted front grille are in similarly excellent, well-maintained
condition. Other chrome work-including the headlight bezels,
driver's-side mirror, door handles, body-side trim pieces, and
taillight trim-show equally well. The brushed-metal windshield
surround is without flaw; cabin glass is also free of cracks or
other imperfections. Proper factory badging, namely the red MG-logo
front-grille emblem, small British-Leyland fender badges, and
rear-deck MG chrome emblem with MGB model-designation, is all
correctly in place. Lighting lenses are clear and uncracked.
Original 14-inch, 4-lug, styled steel wheels, with MGB-logo center
caps and chrome trim rings, have been freshly mounted with
Michelin® XAS 185/70 radial tires. The car's just-renewed black
soft top is properly fitted and free of damage, as is the boot
cover in place when the top is stowed. The MGB's interior has all
the charm of the classic British roadster. Black leather upholstery
with vertically pleated, ventilated center panels is in perfect
condition (including on the headrests of the same design, and the
center armrest). Interior trim on the doors maintains this look
with added thin chrome accents and textured-metal door handles.
