1974 MG MGB GT for sale
Current customer rating: (209 votes ) based onI bought the car off of “Bring A Trailer” about 2. 5 years ago. Here is a link to the listing then:

The overdrive is an extremely desirable optional feature from the factory. not found on most MGBs.
My intention was to give the car to my wife as a 30th anniversary present (she had indicated a fondness for them way back). The car would need to be a reliable daily driver for someone who is not interested in doing any side-of-the-road mechanical work. As purchased. this car was a good starting point. and has checked out well (I have driven it more than 4000 miles all over New England). Additionally. in pursuit of enhanced reliable road-worthiness. improved appearance and extended longevity. I have had the following work done professionally:
Drivetrain
Rebuilt cylinder head (new guides. valves. seals hardened seats)
New carrier bearings
Replacement spider gear in rear differential
New thrust washers. diff.
New bearing kit. . (tube axle)
New U-joint.

Misc:

The car is not show perfect. (Although one photo is in a show at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market in downtown Boston) but instead is an excellent “driver” which I would take anywhere without hesitation. I really get a hoot out of driving it. It did not become my wife's car. since. after doing all this. I found a green one. and she likes green better.
