Gasoline

Purchased 6/18/99 with 47,644 miles from 2nd owner in Wetherfield,CT who owned it for over 15 years. It has been a +10 year restoration project that I have lost interest, looking to pass it on to someone who wants to bring it to completion. The engine is original never taken apart except it was converter to a weber updraft carb by 2nd owner. I have kept everything original except for the Stereo Radio / CD player. I also purchased a complete tan leather interior kit with carpet not yet installed except for the seats and upper door panels - you can see the different shade of tan (old verse new). I have all the reciepts to backup the detail below. Here is the list of all parts and services performed, There may have been a few more items since 2008 that didn't make it on the list. 1979 MGB BURGUNDY EXTERIOR WITH TAN INTERIOR 6/18/1999 PURCHASE PRICE $4,000.00 ORDER PARTS QTY PART# COST E - COST DATE 7/12/1999 BENTLEY MECHANICS MANUAL 1 $44.95 $44.95 7/12/1999 DISTRIBUTOR CAP 1 $9.00 $9.00 7/12/1999 FAN BELT 1 $5.00 $5.00 7/12/1999 FUEL FILTER 1 $1.49 $1.49 7/12/1999 FUSES 1 $1.99 $1.99 7/12/1999 HEATER HOSE 1 $3.49 $3.49 7/12/1999 MG TRUNK EMBLEM 1 9-921 $24.95 $24.95 7/12/1999 OIL 4 $1.37 $5.48 7/12/1999 OIL FILTER 1 $4.99 $4.99 7/12/1999 RADIO/CD PLAYER WITH SPEAKERS 1 $350.00 $350.00 7/12/1999 ROTOR 1 $2.70 $2.70 7/12/1999 SPARK PLUG WIRES 1 $11.00 $11.00 7/12/1999 SPARK PLUGS 4 $1.70 $6.80 7/12/1999 SPRAY PAINT 1 $3.37 $3.37 7/15/1999 ANTENNA 1 15-6143 $24.95 $24.95 7/15/1999 DOOR TOP RAIL BEIGE 1 16-121-BG $94.95 $94.95 7/15/1999 DRIVER MIRROR 1 9-094 $29.95 $29.95 7/15/1999 EMBLEM CLIPS 4 12-2118 $0.40 $1.60 7/15/1999 FAN MOTOR 1 0-627 $89.95 $89.95 7/15/1999 FAN MOTOR - RELAY 1 0-946 $12.95 $12.95 7/15/1999 FAN MOTOR SWITCH 1 10-040 $13.95 $13.95 7/15/1999 FLASHER RELAY 1 8-512 $6.95 $6.95 7/15/1999 GEAR SHIFT KNOB 1 15-320 $14.95 $14.95 7/15/1999 HEATER CABLE 1 6-804 $9.95 $9.95 7/15/1999 MG FRONT BUMPER EMBLEM 1 9-9101 $9.95 $9.95 7/15/1999 OWNERS MANUAL 1 9-1250 $11.95 $11.95 7/15/1999 RADIATOR CAP 1 2-305 $4.95 $4.95 7/15/1999 RADIATOR HOSE BOTTOM 1 2-543 $12.95 $12.95 7/15/1999 REAR MAT MG BLACK 1 15-950 $54.95 $54.95 7/15/1999 SUNVISOR HDWR CLIPS 2 12-192 $0.50 $1.00 7/15/1999 SUNVISOR HDWR NUT 2 12-360 $0.50 $1.00 7/15/1999 SUNVISOR HDWR WASHERS 2 12-4367 $0.50 $1.00 7/15/1999 TEMP TRANSMITTER 1 2-713 $7.95 $7.95 7/15/1999 THERMOSTAT - GASKET 1 1-496 $0.55 $0.55 7/15/1999 THERMOSTAT 160 1 2-201 $4.95 $4.95 7/15/1999 WIPER BLADES 3 9-9707 $9.95 $29.85 7/19/1999 COIN DISH 1 15-114 $9.95 $9.95 7/19/1999 CONNECTOR 2 POS.

Keep in mind the car is over 30 years old and as with all british cars they do require constant tinkering. It is stored in a garage at my house in Cape Cod, MA. Can assist with transport in New England. Good Luck Bidding! Contact me if any questions. On Nov-26-10 at 14:08:10 PST, seller added the following information: Also includes both Tonneau covers - full and half with the removable mounting bars. I am including the original 1979 MGB marketing piece used back when originally sold. I have the title from owner #2, she purchased 4/23/1983. Like I said if you have the time to complete the restoration you will have a great car or flip it in the spring.
