Beautiful, all stock and original, great running and driving, original Southern California blue license plate, rust free, low mileage (67,297) MGB convertible with the highly desirable electric overdrive option (drops RPM by about 500 when switched on for easier highway driving). This is one of several vintage MGB's I'm selling for a friend of mine. Her retired US Air Force General and former test pilot husband passed away from cancer late last year and she has asked me to sell off his collection.

This MGB was last licensed and driven regularly in Southern California in 1986 (see pics). I even have the pink slip. Records show it had 56,323 miles on the odometer as of November 22, 1983. On April 6, 1993, it was purchased by Two-Star General Alexander Kent Davidson and driven from SoCal to the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah where it was immediately placed in long-term storage. It remained that way for 21 years until I brought it into the sunlight last month. It took very little to get her running and driving great.

Mechanically, low mileage and regular maintenance are clearly in evidence. She's a great runner and can be enjoyed immediately. Some of the running gear details are as follows (all done within the last 500 miles)...

* New Clutch
* New Clutch Master Cylinder
* New Clutch Slave Cylinder
* New Fuel Pump
* Tank & Fuel Lines Drained & Cleaned
* Carburetors Freshly Rebuilt
* Valves Adjusted
* New 185/70R-14 Kelly Metric 600T Tires
* See Pics For Engine Number
* Overdrive Works Perfectly

The interior is in very good condition as well (see pics). And almost everything works properly. Some of the details are as follows...

* New Interior Carpet Kit
* Seats Recently Reupholstered
* New Trunk Carpet Kit
* All Gauges Work Properly
* Low Beam Headlights Work Properly (no high beams, bulbs?)
* Tail Lights Work Properly
* Blinkers Work Properly
* 2 Of 4 Flashers Work Properly
* Brake Lights Intermittent (probably fixed by auction end)
* Windshield Wipers Work Properly
* Vintage AM/FM Cassette Deck Gets Power (no sound though)
* Interior Light Works Properly
* Heater Fan Works Properly
* Vents Work Properly
* Horn Works Properly
* Even The Cigarette Lighter Still Works

The exterior is where some love is still needed (see pics) but all that's necessary is a good respray in the original white. Some of the details are as follows...

* Trim Is All There And In Good Shape
* Windows Roll Up And Down Well
* Doors Open And Close Properly
* Windshield Cracked On Passenger Side (I have a new one available separately)
* Top Has A 1-2 Inch Tear On Driver Side
* RO Type Rims With Aftermarket Chrome Trim Rings
* Aftermarket Rally Mirrors
* Several Tiny Bubbles Behind LF & RR Tires
* Undercarriage In Excellent Condition 
* See Pics For Body Number, Commission Number And VIN Tag

This is an awesome MGB with great bones and a great history. It's tough to beat a SoCal pink slip and blue plate car with low miles that has aged so well. After laying idle for most of the last 28 years it's almost a barn find. All it really needs is paint on the cosmetics side. Mechanically, it needs nothing in my opinion.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And this car is ready to enjoy today so you may want to consider flying in and driving home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1973 MGB convertible is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding.
