1978 Beautifully restored MGB: REDUCED SOLD

My beloved 1978 Roadster needs a new home. This car was bought by me in 2004 for £7, 000 and has been lovingly restored to an excellent standard. I have spent approximately £20, 000 in this time to make this car a beautiful example and a genuine head turner. All work has been completed by a local retired chap who ran an MG rally team for over 20 years, regarded as one of the best MG mechanics in northern England.

Full chrome conversion bumpers. Full set of chrome wire wheels and spinners. Very comprehensive body re-build completed 8000 miles ago. Professional bare metal respray 5000 miles ago, new hood in red 3 years ago. Full set of new carpeting throughout, full set of beautiful magnolia speedo / dials / clock etc, full walnut dash, centre console and door tops. New windscreen and tinted windows. Cream leather interior with blue piping in good condition, walnut / chrome Motolita steering wheel. New exhaust system, new cooling system, new fuel and water pumps, new carburetor, new exhaust system, new braking system, reconditioned 5-speed gearbox and clutch with overdrive installed 2000 miles ago, 1800cc reconditioned engine 6000 miles ago. CD / radio.

To be honest it is quicker to state what this car has not had…an electrical re-wire! Pretty much everything else has been replaced. The car has been very well cared for, garaged all year round and only ever driven in summer. It drives beautifully and looks amazing.

The car has just had two new tyres, ariel and thermostat for its MOT. Any detailed inspection and test drive is welcomed. Sensible offers are also invited. The car had done 3000 miles in the past 4 years, is waxed, fully tested and ready for summer.
