1978 MGB GT finished in Vermillion orange For Sale

MGB GT finished in Vermillion orange with correct period grey "deck chair style" seats and black trim, fitted with that all important overdrive.

A lovely honest car that wants for nothing, please do not compare this vehicle with a lot of the badly abused examples that are out there, this example has only had six owners in its entire life, it came to us as a trade in against a beautiful roadster the owner was reluctant to part with this as he only acquired the car in October 2018 so just fifteen months in which time he made many improvements to include, fully refurbing the roystye wheels and fitting a full set of matched new tyres, fitting a genuine Moto Lita wood rim steering wheel, electronic ignition, lowering the suspension by means of new front springs and lowering kit to the rear, new cross drilled front discs with EBC green stuff pads, new EBC shoes to the rear.

Under the bonnet the engine bay is very tidy, the original hardboard undertray is still present this is something i always look for as they are all too often missing, the inner wings and chassis legs still have their original factory paint on and are nice and clean, the bulkhead again as factory and clean, the engine is generally clean tidy and not dripping oil which is golden, the wiring appears unmolested.

The interior is nice, good carpets, nice un damaged and clean seats, good clean dash and headlining , nice and dry, the doors open and close nicely with good gaps as does the tailgate, the boot carpet is clean, the boot floor under the cover is good clean and NOT rusty, the underside is well treated with underseal done properly the floors are all good and solid,
Paintwork is nice no bad marks, sure you will find the od age related mark if you look hard enough.,

Mechanically the car is good starts first time hot or cold, ticks over immediately runs smooth and quiet not making any tappet noise, the odometer shows 10, 037 mls to which i conclude that to be 110, 037 which will rise during the duration of the ad as i love a good B GT which this is it drives very well indeed more like a lesser mileage example, and as its both MOT and tax exempt i shall enjoy using it weather permitting, viewing is always welcome and recommended which can be arranged for most times, payment can be made by bank transfer (preferred) cash we also accept all major debit credit cards with card holder present proof of ID and proof address, UK mainland delivery can be arranged from
