Very clean, original TWO-OWNER 1972 MGB Coupe GT. This is a very clean, straight MG that has lived all of its life in California, and it is still a daily driver and most fun roadster to drive down Big Sur. miles 76K original miles , and its condition reflects it. SOLID, clean floorboards, body and undercarriage, as a California car should always be~! The original engine is completely stock, never altered or modified in any way. It has been maintained well throughout its long life, as a lot of items look to have been reconditioned or rebuilt ( cylinder head, water pump, SU carburetors, alternator, starter, brakes, tires, radiator, etc). It also had a new muffler from MOSS Motors installed six months ago, and it sounds nice and quiet, yet sporty enough. Runs VERY WELL, with excellent compression and no overheating or engine noises. Nice finned aluminium valve cover from MOSS Motors, as well as a beautiful dual Air cleaner set-up. Its original four-speed manual transmission shifts very well into all forward and reverse gears, without chatter, crunching, slippage or hesitation. It had a NEW clutch ( NOT remanufactured) installed and flywheel refinished a year ago, all with MOSS-supplied UK parts ( including pressure plate, disc and pilot bearing). No differential noises. Brakes stop fine and right on the spot ( actually GREAT for an MG!). No steering pulling or noises. New brake master cylinder two years ago. The original bodywork is in remarkable condition for a 1972-year GT. The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with no rust or dents. Still retains its original tan/ khaki color ( I believe it's BL code is called " Harvest Gold" ) which still shines after all these years. It has ALWAYS been this color. One spot in the front fender looks to have been touched up long ago. The interior's upholstery is in EXCELLENT condition for an MG of this vintage, with NO tears, rips or splits on the seams. One small tear on the driver's top as pictured. PERFECT DASH. The leatherette is very clean, and sound, as pictured. Original vintage rubber floormats included. Rear fold-away seat is nice. Headliner is firmly affixed, and not sagging everywhere or hanging down. SUPER NICE, immaculate MINILITE wheels ( these are the 14" not the smaller 13" wheels, also purchased from MOSS Motors,for $325 EACH) with almost-new radial tires ( with 95% tread left, if not better). Absolutely NO scratches, dents or curb rash in any area of the wheels. Overall, a very sound, fairly original and unrestored, solid MG B GT coupe with low miles. California title. For all serious bidders, this GT is being offered with a very modest opening bid and a low, reasonable reserve. The GT is also being currently advertised in other venues. I reserve the right to end the auction early if a sale comes through or an offer presents itself with a BUY-IT-NOW. Unfortunately, this MG B GT was stolen back in 1982 from the original owner. It was recovered two months later, but the insurance company had already paid off. Thus, it will show salvage on the title. I want to emphasize, the car has NOT been in any accidents. You are most welcome to inspect it or have a garage inspect it for you ( as long as it is local). This GT runs, drives and handles GREAT, the way it should. Compare to ANY MG B GTs listed on Ebay~!
