Description

Beautiful British Racing Green Roadster. This is a usable and highly desirable classic which is all ready for the summer. Just completed a full rebuild with a huge, documented list of new parts and a photographic record. Restored to original specification, everything works as it should, including overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear. A file of all receipts and photographs will be provided as part of the history file but notable new parts added include sills, front wings, drivers door, front valance, chrome bumpers, hood, carpets, trim panels, front discs/ calipers/ pads, clutch and release bearing, brake and clutch master cylinders and clutch slave cylinder, brake/ clutch/ fuel pipes, oil cooler, fuel pump, safety belts, engine and gearbox mounts etc etc. Engine/ gearbox has been removed and partially stripped for inspection before building back up with new service parts. It runs well and starts first time. Overdrive has been serviced with new filter, seals and solenoid. The usual MGB corrosion areas have been addressed and a full respray has been undertaken with epoxy primer, high build primer and top coat. Waxoil and underseal have been applied. New chrome bumpers and hood add the final touches. Documented service and MOT history back to 1993 when the mileage was 30, 000. The last major restoration work is documented in the file from 1994. Vehicle was off the road for many years before being acquired as an unfinished project in 2022. MOT and tax exempt.
