Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo
Ok--here's the full listing:
1968 MG CONVERTIBLE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION - $7,000 obo
This is a beautiful 1968 MG MGB convertible with many excellent features. At the top of the list are the unbelievably shiny chrome bumpers and accessories. This convertible is a primrose yellow with an immaculate interior. The interior has been completely restored with new black carpet and black vinyl seats with white piping. The exterior is in great condition all around. It’s a sharp looking car, very clean and well kept. This rare sports car also handles remarkably well due to new suspension and the sport rims and tires. It’s very sure-footed on the road, cornering easily and smoothly.
Some of the features:
- 44,000 miles on odometer
- Four speed with electric overdrive
- Completely rebuilt engine (2001), new fuel pump
- Beautiful rare chrome bumpers and appointments
- New top with zip-out window in back
- Tonneau cover in excellent shape
- Oversized (15 in) aftermarket alloy knockoff sport wheels
- Original wire wheels ( all five thrown in FREE)
- Tires are in wonderful condition with very little wear (80%)
- Very little rust on car body
I've driven it on occasion for 2 years, with no engine servicing, other than keeping it very clean, and oil changes. The 74.5 and newer Bs were rubber bumper and are worth much less than older chrome bumper Bs. I've included an engine compartment photo.
The only thing this car might need is attention to a few rust spots on the lower door/quarter panels and front hood lip. This Roadster is in great condition otherwise. It won #5 in the chrome bumper MGB category at this year's New Orleans British Car Meet!
The key to having a a good running LBC (Little British Car) is they've got to be driven, which is a true pleasure.
