This 79 MGB is in near show quality. The engine was stripped to a bare block and hot-tanked and re-manufactured, bringing every surface and every tolerance back to original specifications through the use of state of the art equipment. I have rebuilt the Motor less than 3500 miles ago and have driven it to NAMGBR at Dillard, Ga and French-Lick, IN. The engine is bored 40 over, I installed all new pistons, wrist pins, pin-bushings,rings, rod bearings, timing components, valves, lifters, and Crankshaft. Head resurfaced, oil pump and a high performance Camshaft. I had the exhaust manifold ceramic coated and I installed a pair of SU HS4 carburetors. It has a Wizard alloy 4 pass radiator and a Corvette C-4 cooling fan. New clutch and a Limey's relay kit for the horn and lights. I also installed a rebuilt all syncro 4 speed with factory electric overdrive using the 64-68 LH overdrive with a top dipstick for checking oil. You can see the Rocker switch for the Overdrive on the Custom Gearshift knob turned from South American Cocobolo Wood to match the cup holder and luggage rack wood strips. I have also installed a Cruise control with vacuum canister and it works great for highway driving in accelerate, coast and set. The convertible top is brand new two years ago from England. New Ken-wood FM radio and speakers. There are way too many things to mention in this listing. I have all receipts of everything I have purchased for this MGB. I have installed 1970 vintage Lucas fog lights on a chromed Badge Bar. The paint is good condition with only a few rock chips that have been touched up and I have a 1/2 pt.of Carmine Red factory matching paint for further touch up. This car drives straight and cruises on the highway at 75 MPH like a dream. More pictures upon request. I will not ship it, pickup only. I am not using it as much as I age, so I am selling it . As you can see it is in great shape. It is insured for 14,000 with JC taylor for an as agreed value. I have much more in it than I am selling it for. It shouldn't last long......Good Luck.....If you have questions and can't get a quick response through email, you can call me at: 217-248-2762.
