This is my1974 MGB withrare factoryoverdrive with solid chrome bumpers. The car has been very, verywell cared for and much work has just been completed and huge $$ where spent bringing her to this levelas you will read and see in auction description.The car is available to be seen and drivenanytime during the auction. The car is selling this week to the highest bidder and is priced well below current market value.If you know vintage British cars you know how much it takes to get a car to this level and what and exceptionalvalue this car is - plus it has factory overdrive !! Mechanically:The car runsgreat and has tight and responsive steering.The car starts right up with no issues, ticks,smoke or shacking about. Holds very good oil pressure at about60 lbs warm at idle andatick over70 lbs warm at speed. The car has been recently converted to a Webber carburetor systemfor reliability and performance.The car shifts up / down through all gears with no bidding or grinding of the gears. The rare factory overdrive works flawlessly.Recent work completed included the following: New points, new spark plugs, new ignition wires, new distributor cap, new rotor button, new coil,oil changed, new oil filter, valve adjustment,new front brake pads, new front brake rotors, new brake master cylinder, new clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave cylinder, new radiator, new hood pad / insulation kit and new engine bay seal. About a year ago the alternator was replaced along with the fan belt and starter motor.As you can see the engine bayis highlydetailed and the engine was removed prior to the re spray so the engine bay color / quality matches the exterior of the car.At this time I know of nothing the car needs other that to be driven and enjoyed. I would not hesitate to drive this car any distance. Note: I was told by the previous owner that the engine was rebuiltprior to my purchase but I have no documentation. Car runs and performs like its been rebuilt and visual inspection alsoindicatesits most likelytrue that the engine has been rebuilt. Again, runs and drives like a dream. Overdrive Transmission: Yes the car sports its original factory overdrive transmission that works flawlessly and really makes a huge difference when on the highway. | Electrical's:This area is in amazing condition !!!Headlights ( high & low beam) wor, wipers work, front & rearturn signals work, front & rear running lights work, front and rear side marker lights work,brake lights work,backup lights work, license plate lights work,dash gauge lights work, dash indicator lights work, dash warning lights work, interior courtesy / maplight works,hazard switch works, cigarette lighterworksandblower fan works.

A very nicely presented interior as seen in the photos. Exterior: The car presents herselfextremely wellin the photos and in person.The newersoft top and high end wheel and tire package really sets the car off and apart from what you normally see out there.The wheels are made in the UK Mini Lite brand8 spoke wheels with MG logo center caps and MG logo lug nuts.

As seen all body panels, hood, trunk, rocker panels, dog legs, doors, front / rear lower valances, jack pointsareextremelystraight and the panel/ door fit is awesome. I can't find a ding or dent in any of thebody panels.The windows and windshieldseals / gaskets where replaced at time of the re spray and are in like new condition.All glass is clear and scratch / cloud free.The repaint on the car was done about 2 years ago and was done to a very high standard. I find no runs, drips, orange peel or over sprayanywhere on the car. Thepaint is very shinny and silky smooth to the touch with no gritty feel to it.The car has beendriven and enjoyed since the repaint so she's not perfect but in my opinion its a sold8+ still. Note: At the time ofthe re spray the chrome door handles, chrome door locks, chrome wiper arms and the chrome body molding where all replaced. Also, its not seen in the photos but there is a small paint chip on the drivers side front wheel inner arch. There are a few blemishes due to using the car since the re spray.
