1978 Stunning Pageant Blue MGB Roadster SOLD

A much loved 1978 MGB Roadster (rubber bumper model) in striking Pageant Blue with a black vinyl hood and black leather interior.
The car comes with a Perspex wind stop, plus full and half tonneau covers. It has 5 good tyres plus a "smaller size Saab spare" that serves as "get you home spare" for added boot space if required.
The car is in excellent condition, very sound underneath with good mechanicals. Serviced and MOT'd at the end of April 2015. Everything that has ever needed doing has been done over the time I have owned this car.
Over my time of ownership (since August 2008) I have spent a lot of money to improve the vehicle (over £8k) and my local garage has regularly serviced it.
Amongst the repairs & changes made (and this is not an exhaustive list) include: -
January 2009 - Leather seats complete new carpet set, and Luminition Optronic kit fitted.
April 2009 – New o/ s door & other body repairs.
April 2010 - Limited Edition USA polished alloy wheels fitted.
June 2011 - A great sounding SS exhaust & Kenlowe electric cooling fan fitted.
July 2011 - Engine tuned by Clive Atthowe (Norwich) and a replacement Luminition system & new Lucas coil fitted.
November 2012 - Front brakes replaced with "Green Pads" & discs.
June 2014 – n/ s/ r shock absorber & anti roll bar D bushes replaced.
October 2014 - New windscreen and frame fitted.
December 2014 – n/ s/ f wing, rear quarter panel repairs and panel re-spray.
April 2015 – Full service & MoT, o/ s/ f shock absorber & oil cooler & pipes replaced.
Lots of other parts have been replaced over the years as required, a sign that it has been well looked after. There is quite a lot of documentation available to support the car's history, including almost complete MoT records from 1992 to present date.
I have enjoyed lots of great times in this car and have mixed feelings about selling it but I can't justify owning 4 cars so sadly it must go!
The vehicle condition I would describe as Condition B = Very Good, well kept in most respects.
The insured valuation with Lancaster Insurance is £6500 but I will accept £5250 or very near offer.
The current mileage is 103, 000 and the car is still in use albeit in rotation with other cars! I am looking to move to a smaller property and won't have the storage space so sadly I will have to part with a couple of vehicles. Can you offer this super car a good home?

This car is a stunner to look at, sounds great and is terrific fun to drive with the top down.
