This is quite frankly one of the best MGBs I have ever seen.  It is a low mileage rust free car that was part of an extensive MG collection that included T series, MGA Twin Cam, V8 and more.  This year the collection was sold off, and I purchased this car. While the car was in remarkable shape, it had been sitting unused for a while, so an extensive refreshining was done to get it back into top condition.

This MGB was the last full year of the chrome bumpers, and most enthusiasts agree that 1973 was the pinnicle of MGB production.  Still with the classic chrome bumpers, traditional grill and wire wheels, but with some great updates such as an all syncro gearbox, more comfortable seats, face level ventillation, etc. This makes for a highly desirable, but very usable classi British Roadster.

This particular example has always lived in a dry climate and has never had any rust/panel replacement.  It is also a very low mileage example that is highly original with some nice options such as the classic knock-off wire wheels.  It is finished in its original color of Blue Royale which is a stunning color especially in person.  Not just a navy blue, it has some nice green/gray tones to it.  Many collectors consider this rare color to be one of the best of the colors offered in the 1970's MGBs.  It has had a professional respray that remains in very nice condition.

The interior is mostly original which shows how nicely kept this car is.  The seats are original covers which were in excellent condition, however the seats were rebuilt where needed with new foam and spring bases.  The carpet was also replaced in the restoration along with the door panels which are also new.   It wears a new high quality Robbins conv. top which was professionally fitted and looks perfect.  The trunk has a professionally made and installed carpet kit with a fitted spare tire cover embossed with the MG logo.

Mechanically, this MGB is in exellent shape. While the restoration was quite extensive, we recently had much work done after its long storage to return it to top condition.  The engine was given a thorough service with all new tune up parts, cap, rotor, points, plugs, wires along with rebuilt carbs, distributor,etc.  It was fitted with a new fuel pump too.  

The braking system and clutch hydraulics were also completely rebuilt or replaced as needed with all new Brake and Clutch Master Cyl, wheel cylinders, hoses calipers, pads, shoes etc.  This ensured that the car ran exactly like it should.

While not perfect, this is the best MGB I have seen short of a multiple concours winning car at a national MG meet.  It both looks and runs wonderfully, leaving little for the new owner to do.  If you are looking for a car that is ready to use and show, this could be the car for you.

Terms: This car will be sold.  It is advertised locally as well as nationally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  Must be paid for within 5 business days.  Of course it is sold as is where is with no warranty or guarantees.  Buyer to pay shipping, although I can arrange at a big discount through a source I have used regularly.  Example $650 to Los Angeles.  Good Luck, and Happy Bidding
