1969 MGB Roadster. Tartan red with a 1950cc B-Series fast road engine with high lift cam shaftVery lively performance !!Supplied new in the UK to a member of the Armed forces and shipped straight away to Hong Kong where it remained until 1979 when it was brought into the UK. the DVLA in error gave it a 1979 plate (T reg) SHO553T rather than the (J) registration which it should have been allocated. it remained on that number up until 1991 ( I have mot certificates between that period). Then its owner decided to put the car back on an age related J plate and it was allocated DYF 40J which it stayed on for the next 12 years. 2003 saw this roadster exported to the warm climate of Cyprus where it stayed up until this year when it was brought home. The mileage is showing 75000 but this must be disregarded as the mileage has not changed on its MOTs since 1986. I am in the process of re registering the MGB in the UK and im being told that it should not take much more than a couple of weeks and the lady at the DVLA suggested that it would probably go back on its previous number DYF 60J. so I have temporarily fitted the old plates that were in the boot when I bought the car.
Please bare in mind if you win the auction it may be a couple of weeks before the docs arrive back from the DVLA.
The condition is good with good paintwork. the MG has had a recent new hood with zip out rear window. the wire wheels have been recently painted and the interior is in good shape. The MG drives exceptionally well and the overdrive box is nice and smooth. the engine is very responsive and much much faster than a standard MBB due to its bored out B Series engine with high lift cam shaft. it also handles superb due to its polybushed suspension The oil pressure is superb and is at 60psi upon start up and only drops back to 50psi when warm.
The MG went in for an MOT on friday and I will have the certificate on Monday morning as soon as the garage opens and then I will send all the paperwork off to Swansea to get it UK registered.
This is not a concours car but a very presentable 1969 MGB roadster that turns heads and looks the part and it drives superb. It also has bundles of history from the UK and from Cyprus.
