1974 MGBGT British Racing Green - fully restored For Sale

This car been restored over the past five years. It has been restored in order to improve its reliability and mechanical condition; a huge number of parts have been replaced and the underside and topside have been fully restored. Underneath has been cleaned, all rust removed, primed, undercoated and top coated with POR-15 products. The topside has been stripped and professionally resprayed in British racing green, Chrome and weather trims have all been replaced. There is a folder of receipts for all the parts which I have listed below.

Please note mileage is an approximation as the car has had several new clocks over the years and so can not be confirmed. The current clock has failed again and a new one will be ordered.

I originally brought this car for my son to learn to drive; when the car became unreliable I decided to restore it as it is such a lovely vehicle. I have been doing this for about 5 years but now that it is complete I have no real use for it - so it just sits in my garage. I really hope it finds a good home.
