Lot Ended
Description
Current registered keeper for 32 years; restored in 1993; lightly used
since and always garaged; a pretty MG at an attractive guide
price
First registered in Devon in June 1969, this pretty MGB Roadster has
had just one owner since 1992. Little is known about the
early history of the car, but it is clear from paperwork on file that in 1993 it
had a substantial restoration, being stripped to a rolling
shell.
The bodywork had various new
panels, including inner and outer sills, outriggers, wheel arches, full o/s
rear wing and half the n/s rear wing, full o/s floorpan and boot
sections.
New springs were fitted front
and rear; many seals and hoses were replaced; all five wire wheels were
sandblasted and repainted; the crackle finish dashboard was renewed; the seats
were rebuilt and given new leather covers; a new windscreen was fitted and
it also got a new Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel. The car does not appear
to have over-drive.
No doubt more work was done
for which there are no invoices, and there is no evidence of any
significant work done since. The MOT history online shows that it has only
covered around 4,600 miles since 2006, the odometer currently
showing 28,096 miles, although it has only done about 80 miles since the
last MOT was issued in November 2022. It looks generally smart and we
understand that it has been garage stored.
