1966 MGB roadster - convertible with O/D, wire knock-off whees

I have debated this for some time. but it's finally time to list granddad's 1966 MGB.

My wife's father purchased this car in California in the 80's and did a bunch of mechanical and cosmetic work to the vehicle. including painting the car and upgrading the transmission to a 1976 MGB tranny with overdrive.

As listed in the vehicle condition section. the MGB is in great shape overall and at a distance looks pretty good too - especially with the period California black plates and wire knockoff wheels.

The engine has never failed to start and mechanically the vehicle is in great shape.

Recent replacements/fixes include rebuilt radiator. new master cylinder. new rear coils and springs. rebuilt front and rear brakes. and new exhaust.

The clutch gets a little loose if driving in stop & go traffic in hot weather. but that's to be expected. and the battery is a bit old and probably could use replacing.

Exterior of the vehicle looks good overall especially from a distance. though the paint is a bit faded at this point.

There are cosmetic defects. including a scratch on the passenger door. and the rocker panels are a little rusty and need welding/replacing.

Also. the driver's side door catch is loose so it needs a good shove in order to latch.

Interior of the car is in good shape.

The carpeting should be replaced and I'd paint the dash and replace the cassette player with a period BMC radio or MG faceplate.
This is the perfect car for someone to do a bit of work to and then have a beautiful driver.

There's nothing quite like driving an MGB.

So much fun.
Vehicle comes with a convertible top that's in very good condition.

No rips or tears.
