Owner Comments
Car could be a daily driver, although we have strictly used it for a weekend fun driver since our purchase in 2019. Have averaged about 150 miles per year between state inspections. Engine Oil/Filter, Rear Differential, and Gearbox oil changed annually regardless of mileage. Owner is a longtime Jaguar and MG enthusiast and owned numerous British cars over the years. Do not know of any issues regarding the B, and any that have come up since our purchase, which have been few and minor...mostly Lucas usual electrical, have been repaired.
We are selling the car to allow for the completion of another classic car hobby project and car garage space for possible purchase of another classic.
We are in the Houston, Texas metroplex and would consider sharing any transportation costs. This car is an excellent, original, running and driving B.
Would discuss negotiated sales price with serious buyers. Contact us anytime and we will get back with you.
