Life is too short to drive a boring car!

1967 MG-GT Chrome bumper

VIN: GHD3L110073

Engine #: 18GB-U-H 61692

This is a 1967, chromed bumper MG-GT, with original splined hubs. The vehicle was beautifully restored approximately 6 years ago and has been driven very sparingly since then. It's great fun to drive, and turns heads wherever it goes. The blue paint shows well, though it does have some dimpling and chips in certain areas. The interior was redone in premium black leather with blue piping, and it looks/feels excellent. The carpets were replaced as well. The fully rebuilt 4-cylinder engine runs strong, and is in an excellent state of tune. The rebuilt fully synchronized transmission shifts as it should and the clutch is in good condition. The car has an auxiliary electric fan, oil cooler and fuel pump. She starts well and runs smoothly. The chrome is excellent except for some very light pitting on the back bumper. The new tires ride on base metal wire wheels with chrome knock-offs. The brakes are new, and the car stops with authority. All mechanical systems work as they should. All gauges, horns, lights, wipers, heater, etc. work as they should. The hatch area has new carpets and holds a matching wire wheel spare tire and original jack.

The cost of reproducing this MG-GT to this level would be in excess of $25K. These early chrome bump MG's are the most desirable of this series of cars. They are a joy to drive, and give the driver the classic roadster experience. All she needs is a proud new owner. I would love to keep the car myself but need the garage space due to "boomerang" college kid moving back in with us. Feel free to contact me for any additional information, photos, etc.

Full Disclosure: I bought the car about 4 years ago and had it shipped to me. During loading on the delivery truck, a pointy-nosed Jaguar lightly bumped into the back of the MGB, causing some damage to the body behind the rear license plate. To me, it was barely visible, so no big deal, and I never bothered to have it repaired. But in order to be totally up front in this sale, I removed the license plate and took pictures so you can see the damage. Please see the pictures in this listing. Reference the paint, as mentioned above, there are some small dimples, a chip near the left side mirror, and a very subtle dent in the roof. There is also some slight bubbling on the right-side front and mid rocker panels and some paint cracks on the left-side mid rocker. I tried to take closeup pictures of each of these small flaws so you can see everything in advance of bidding (these types of flaws are not really visible in the wide shots of the whole car). Please see the annotated pictures in this listing.
