Description

MGB Roadster in green, 1977, 1.8 manual with overdrive. MOT & VEL exempt due to age. Odometer currently shows 38k miles, but reading it's history, I think it has had a speedo change in the past. Total mileage should be around 120k, I believe. Starts on the button, new battery last year. Brakes would benefit from an overhaul, as the car is not being used much. Master cylinder, servo, flexible hoses and fluid all changed about 2 years ago. Oil and filter change late last year. Coolant change at same time. Excellent oil pressure, no rattles on start up. Cylinder head has been adapted for unleaded fuel. Engine runs nicely when warmed up. 4 tyres all have plenty of tread, with no obvious cracking, but are old..... Bodywork is fair, with no rust holes, but it has several dents, signs of repair, and marks consistent with it's 49 years. Chassis is solid as far as I am aware. The rear spring hangers and boot floor sections were replaced some 3 years ago, the rear springs were also replaced at that time. It has had a poor sill repair on the N/S, finished in underseal, prior to my ownership, please see photos. The front seats are black leather with red piping, and trim in good condition, with new MG floor mats in the front. The hood is way past it's best, but the car is garaged. It has been in the extended family for some 25+ years, but has had minimal use in the past 10 years.
