There's nothing quite like a late 60s MGB roadster. The perfect mix between 60s sportscar design and the refinements of the later cars. These cars are a fantastic investment. with prices dramatically rising all of the time.

This car is no exception. and I feel you'll struggle to find a better one for this price. It's had a great deal of work during its life. which I will detail throughout the ad. It's not a show car. but presents nicely indeed. and if you're after a solid. reliable MGB to use. then this is most probably the one for you!

The previous owner owned the car for 20-odd years. and shortly before he bought it. it had received a very comprehensive restoration. Since then. it's only covered six or seven thousand miles but has been well cared for and received anything that it's needed for each MOT. etc.

In the past couple of years it's had a full professional respray. 4 brand new wire wheels and Falken tyres. stainless exhaust. new brake calipers and hoses etc. new wheel bearings. a full service – the list goes on.

Bodily. the car is nice and straight. with  no evidence of filler. The doors shut with a nice ‘clunk' and the gaps are even. Door and wing bottoms are all nice and solid. as are the wing-top seams. and scuttle panel. The paint finish is good and has a nice shine – there are a few minor imperfections here and there but nothing to worry about at all. As you can see in the pictures – it presents very well indeed! As I mentioned. new wire wheels are fitted and have done very little mileage.

The car appears to be completely solid throughout. Sills. castle sections. floorpans. chassis legs and spring hangers are all in good order. and the car is free from nasty patchwork-quilt type repairs. It got through the last MOT without any issue whatsoever. and I'm sure it will do for many years to come! The current MOT expires in August 2017.

The interior is pretty good too. with the exception of the driver's seat. which has a couple of tears. The dashboard and door cards are in good order. Seats can be found very easily so don't let this put you off! The hood frame has been replaced and is in excellent order. The hood itself appears to be watertight. and is in good condition (but not new!).

Engine starts readily and runs well. ticking over at around 750rpm. as it should. You can see in the pictures that the engine bay is tidy (and. body colour). but a little grubby - it could be detailed to look very nice indeed. Exhaust note is lovely thanks to the stainless steel exhaust and the car pulls and drives as it should. Oil pressure is spot-on. and the car does not overheat. Overdrive is fitted. and functions fine.

I have the current V5 document and MOT. along with bills and receipts for the past few years. and there is another load of paperwork on its way to me. including photographs of the car's restoration in the early 1990s.

All in all. this is an absolutely stunning little car that is absolutely ready to be used and enjoyed. You won't find many cars at this price that have been finished to this standard. I travel all over the country to view these cars and this one is particularly good for the money I'm asking.

Please take your time looking through the photos – I am not trying to hide anything from prospective buyers. like the vast majority of people on eBay these days. Just check my feedback. and you'll see that I'm a completely honest seller.  Do remember that there is no substitute for coming to see the car yourself.

I strongly recommend viewing the car if you plan to buy. I've described it as well as I can. It is sold as seen with no warranty because of its age. and it must be inspected before you hand over any money. All funds must be cleared before the car can be taken away. UK BIDDERS ONLY. PLEASE! 

The car must be collected from my home in Chorlton. Manchester. M16. If you have ANY questions – please ask them BEFORE buying.

I can potentially arrange delivery by trailer at extra cost. but again. the car must be inspected before you pay me.  

PAYMENT BY PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTED.
