Description

Following a high spec 400 hour restoration, for sale is my much loved and road ready, original chrome bumper, 1972 MGB MK2 Roadster with working Overdrive. Finished in Midnight Blue, she is one of a kind, especially with a custom-made, magnolia and walnut 'Bentley' spec interior. Being previously owned by a retired BL Engineer, and then by myself to carry out the updates in the last year, this unique example is not only stunning, she performs incredibly well too. My aim was to reproduce a striking and future-proof British icon that would win Gold at any classic car show. According to the overwhelming love shown across Facebook's MGB groups, I feel with the 400 hour restoration, this has been achieved. Most of what you see are hand-crafted pieces including the diamond-stitched fine nappa leathers, multi-layered wood veneers, perfectly-cut pure wool carpets, heated seats, LED backlit instruments and USB charging. Some of the work carried out with all NEW parts includes: - 2-pack paintwork - fresh underbody protection - 15 inch Minilite wheels inc spare - Avon ZT7 185/65/15 tyres inc spare - Mohair hood with cream lining - Mohair half tonneaux hood cover - twin SU carb refurbishment service - new diamond-quilt nappa leather - magnolia, piped blue, 6-way heated seats - thick gauge sound deadening - Wilton spec carpets piped cream - bespoke walnut veneer screwed dash - gauges, USB charger and switches - drilled grab handles and winders - wood rimmed steering wheel - LED backlit instruments - 30w JBL Bluetooth detachable speaker - boot-access 12v battery charging port - Tex bullet racing mirrors - stainless side trims and thresholds - Inertia reel seatbelts - stainless oil cooler - alternator, 12v battery & voltage regulator - polished four branch stainless exhaust - fuel pump system - no oil, water or fuel leaks - single key-turn starting - 800rpm even tick-over with no vibration - 140psi per cylinder compression - imobilizer The car is very solid with recent new windscreen, wings, doors, sills, chassis, anchor points and castle rails. This list only describes half of the full works carried out. For a more detailed list of parts fitted and more videos, please WhatsApp me on 07453666007. Genuine enquiries only. The end result is something that will delight the person looking to enjoy high-end, classic car motoring for years to come. She is a dream to drive. A full, no advisory MOT will be given on sale. Collection is from Sheffield, S351RS.
