1977 Classic MGB Roadster - 8k recently spent. SOLD
He has owned the car for 6 years but now fancies a change so it is up for sale.
It has a long MOT with no advisories and this lasts until 29th September 2021. The car has done just over 80 thousand miles.
Subject to a documented older restoration it is in fantastic order.
It has the very desirable chrome bumper conversion - a very expensive job and looks great.
It comes with folders of history and photos, including all receipts for work carried out below:
A LOT of work, to the sum of around £8000, has been carried out during the current ownership to remedy any existing issues and to give the owner confidence in its reliability.
All work has been carried out at specialist garages with receipts to prove. The owner is not a DIY'er, so rest assured that all work has been done professionally.

Rebore

Crank skimmed and new bearings

The mechanical order of this car is excellent and doesnt need for anything.
On the body there are no signs of rust anywhere and it is a very straight honest car. At 42 years old it isnt perfect, but it isnt priced as a perfect car either.
A great investment.
The car is tax and MOT exempt, but has always been MOTd during current ownership both for the current and future owners piece of mind.
It is lovely looking car and a lovely place to be on a sunny day!
Viewing is welcomed by appointment at my father in laws address in Poole, Dorset.
