Bodywork
This glorious B started life in New York City but was repatriated recently and has been totally restored using new Heritage panels where needed, the body has been stripped back to bare metal throughout and expertly repainted. Panel fit is to a high standard and is complimented by a smooth even paint finish with a deep gloss, apparently painted at the Aston Martin works.
Mechanical
As the pictures show, great attention has been paid to detail when restoring the mechanical components which add up to a great driving experience. The accompanying file of associated invoices reveals a strip down and reconditioning of all major components including an engine rebuild. With a few miles completed, the car is running superbly, feeling very lively and responsive,
Exterior
Difficult to fault, the overall impression is of a virtually new car, all fixtures are in fine order with excellent chrome and all of the features of these early cars are in tact.
Interior
The overall impression is again of a nearly new car with new leather seat coverings, reconditioned dashboard with correct dials, badges and handles.
This is a truly stunning car and offered at a fraction of the cost to replicate. With values of MGA models now regularly reaching £40K, these early MGBs are exceptional value and whilst offering a similar driving experience offer a degree of additional refinement. An investment that will offer its new owner the opportunity to fully enjoy the classic driving experience.
If you are going to use your MGB for everyday use, for competition, or your current gearbox is giving you trouble then our Mazda gearbox conversion might be an ideal solution for you.
