Description

MGB Roadster 1978 Tartan Red 78,785 miles, with a new engine fitted at 43,000 miles and runs well with 60lb oil pressure. Two years ago the car was re-sprayed in gleaming Tartan Red (the best colour for an MGB) All well known rust areas have been dealt with as follows. New driver's side Door Skin, panel, Castle Rail and driver's side Floorboard (see photographs). Then Wax Oiled and Under Sealed. There are a couple of very small rust spots on the bonnet. It has a new Vinyl Hood, Leather Seat Covers, new Battery, new Water Pump and new Windscreen. A new Steering rack and track rod ends, where fitted before I bought the car. The car has a history file, going back 45 years. I have owned the car for 4 years and has always been garaged. Reason for sale, I have a new classic car (see photo) The most important thing when buying a classic car is Rust. Any 40+ year old car, that rust has not been dealt with, will have problems before long, this car has had the major problems areas renewed. The fuel gauge and overdrive are not working. I understand the overdrive needs a new sensor, I never use the overdrive myself.
