Description
MGB 1972
This is a beautiful example of the popular and iconic British sports convertible in Blaze Orange, a great retro colour of the early 70's with the recent addition of a high-quality blue mohair roof. The car has been in the family for nine years and is a regrettable sale but health circumstances have meant that I have to sell this car.
This is a special car in many ways with a Fast Road Engine installed by MG Motorsport, uprating the engine to 1860cc. To accommodate this higher performance engine brakes, exhaust, suspension and 72 spoke wheels and tyres have been uprated accordingly to the recommendations of MG Motorsport, making it a very lively and spicy car to drive and is a delight to own.
The car has been cherished and maintained throughout and is in excellent condition. It has been garaged over the winters and driven in summer months and never used on wet roads. Of course, the car is MOT exempt but has just been tested and passed with no advisories.
Whilst not quite a concourse condition, this car turns heads at classic car shows and is a great example of how these classics can look and own.

New black leather piped seats and gearbox tunnel with black carpets.
