Rust-free, solid, straight, no accident history, very original unmodified condition.  Engine should run, turns over freely, but I've been unsuccessful thus far since I pulled this car out of a 20 year indoor garage storage recently.  It was part of a package deal on another car I bought from an estate sale.  I have original owner log book of every maintenance, gas fill up, and repair done over the first few years of it's life.  I have a packet of receipts showing repairs and maintenance over the years from previous owner.  It started out in Oregon and was sold to the second owner (whose estate I bought it from).  He was in California at the time and it spent many years there.  He drove it back to Pennsylvania and it's been sitting untouched in his garage for nearly 20 years now.  This due to his deteriorating health (and eventual death).  One picture show the cars as found at the estate.  I basically inflated the tires and towed it home.  The hydraulics (clutch & brakes) will need going over and are not functional at this time.  I have two (2) repair manuals pictured that go with car.  It also has a tonneau cover.


This car needs minor restoration to bring it back to roadworthy condition.  Just doing the mechanicals can make this a presentable driver.  Floors are solid with not even a rust stain.  Trunk is also solid without any surface rust at all. The interior is tatty (seat rips/tears, carpets, etc.).   Dashboard is good and electrics (lights) seem in working order.  Tires are OK tread-wise, but due to age, should be replaced.  Mouldings are all straight and good, no dings.  Has wheel trim rings.  Classic "MGB" side decals.  Windshield is broke, but I have a replacement that goes with the car.  Convertible top is white and in dry poor condition, but hard top is good.  Trunk lid has crease at hinge point where someone tried to force lid closed (common MBG fault).  Overall, this is the most solid, un-rusted MGB I have ever come across!

Remember, this is a NO RESERVE auction and will be sold to highest winning bidder.  My feedback is 100% excellent and I accurately describe what I sell.  Post questions and I will respond.  Those with zero or negative feedback must contact me "PRIOR" to bidding as I will delete and flag bid and bidder from participating.  Thank you for understanding this.

AS IS, WHERE IS.  No warranty or guarantee.  This car needs restoration and is NOT currently roadworthy, but it will take very little to get it that way.

GREAT NEWS!  I GOT IT RUNNING TODAY!

It bothers me that I didn't get it running before I listed it, but oh well.  I fiddled around with it this morning and was able to get it started.  Ran smooth, no unusual sounds, but couldn't keep it running because of a couple things.  The electric fuel pump was thumping, but not getting fuel to the filter/carb.  So I sprayed some gas and 2+2 into the carb and was able to get it to run for several seconds that way.  Oil pressure shows on gauge.
I also noted it has an aftermarket electronic ignition setup.  I mentioned in listing that this was an original unmodified car, but I missed that one improvement, sorry.  No points to adjust & set.

I will be dropping the buy-it-now price very soon.
