1979 MGB GT For Sale

1979 MGB GT in Vermilion orange for sale in excellent condition. Older restoration by a gentleman who had both this and his MGA restored together. At this time an Ivor Seale unleaded cylinder head was fitted. The car runs on refurbished (earlier) HS4 1 1. 2" SU carbs which result in improved performance. The car is 4 speed with overdrive (fully working on 3rd and 4th gear). The car still still looks stunning in its vermilion paintwork.

In my ownership of the car (18 months), the following work has been completed:

Fitted new starter motor
Replaced heated rear window switch
Repaired wiring for heated rear window
Replace heater return/ feed hose and clips
Fit new heater valve
Replace thermostat housing (fitting new thermostat)
Replace distributor vacuum hose
Fit new alternator belt
Fully grease all suspension system
Grease/ oil handbrake adjustment
Clean and re-oil K&N air filters
Fit new rear exhaust mounting rubbers
Fit new windscreen wipers
Wheels completely refurbished, new tyres fitted and balanced throughout.

Mileage of car is just shy of 58k.

MOT is valid until the end of Jan 2019 (no advisories).

I am only selling the car as I am looking to replace it with an older (1940's) classic.
