Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a 1969 MGB Mark II 1800cc
Convertible restored in a very striking 'Red Metallic' color paint
with a 'Black' seats and black carpets interior, a fairly new black
soft top, 4 speed manual transmission and chrome wire wheels! This
is obviously one very rare and highly desirable example of this
classic British sports car - a very nice example of the legendary
chrome bumper Mark II MGB roadster! The trunk, floor boards, rocker
panels and all the typically rust prone areas are solid and the
chrome is all excellent, the bright stainless trim along the flanks
doesn't allow for any sloppy panel alignment and the body is
impressively straight all around. The 'Red Metallic' color paint is
in very good condition with only minor imperfections noticeable
upon very close inspection. The interior is also very good and
mostly original and still quite lovely 'Smiths' gauges to enhance
its old world flavor. The soft top is also very good with a crystal
clear rear window. The chrome wire wheels are also fairly new as
are the chrome bumpers and grille. The car will also be sold with
its original spare wheel and mallet, a handbook and and shop
manuals. The engine purrs quietly under the hood and the 4 speed
manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears. The
temperature always remains cool and there are no noticeable oil
leaks. The car has been upgraded with a carburetor Weber conversion
kit, electronic ignition, and power assisted brakes. The car's
recent service history includes having a new clutch master and
slave cylinder and new brake master cylinder installed along with
all new fabricated lines for the brake booster/servo, all new spark
plugs, rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, electronic ignition
installed, replaced head gasket, replaced 2 freeze plugs, and new
coil. Records available. The simple uncluttered lines of the early
MGB's were never improved by later revisions (the MGB line survived
until 1980) and it is still these early chrome bumper models, which
were a sturdy, straight forward sports car with features that will
fascinate enthusiasts for decades to come, that are most sought
after by MG enthusiasts and collectors. There was no denying the
appeal of the MGB which in almost all respects; performance,
comfort, space and convenience was a distinct improvement on its
predecessor, the MGA and despite of little or no profits being
returned to British Leyland, the model enjoyed record sales for the
company.
