Vehicle Detail

This is an extremely rare version of the Classic MGB. The very earliest cars had not only the more classic metal dash, but also exterior pull handles. They were usually made in more classic color combos similar to the MGA. Very few of these early cars survive, and even fewer in their original configuration with no modifications. This car was restored by the previous owner who intended to compete in the MG show circut. It has won several awards for originality, and is a beautiful example. The outside is finished in its original shade of Iris blue, which not only is a rare period MG color, but also the color of the US show car that was featured in all the major car magazines of its time (see cover of Road & Track included). The interior and top are also finished in the original navy blue. The engine bay has been restored with an eye for originality also down to the correct reproduction decals. Wheels have been refinished and shod just recently with a new set of correct wide whitewall tires. Mecanincally it is in great condition having had the drivetrain rebuilt when the car was restored. Just recently the entire brake hydraulic system was replaced and rebuilt as well. While not perfect, this is a very nice older restoration that has seen limited use outside of shows. Cars of this caliber rarely come up for sale. I am reluctantly parting with this car, due to having to raise funds for a large scale home remodel that I am in the middle of. Please be a serious bidder. Terms: This car must be paid for within 5 days of auction end. A $1000 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however, I can help arrange with a friend of mine at a substantial discount. Sold as is where is with no guarantees or warranty.
