This 1966 MGB is probably the most sought after original car of its erawith chrome bumpers, pull handle, 5 main bearing engine, overdrive transmissionand a fascinating history. This car is a truly English car, originallypurchased in the UK by a US service man, and shipped to the USA. The history ofthis car is supported by original documents, some of which are displayed in thelisting, including original bill of sale, shipping documents from the UK to US,Statement of Origin and many more.

He and I maintained and kept the car in pristine and original conditionas best as possible. The car is a California car and has been converted to 12V,negative ground polarity, has never been driven in the winter, is well takencare of with only 2 owners. NO accidents, NO rust, NO body fillers or plasticwhat so ever. Under carriage is in great shape, still displaying the originalfactory applied rust proofing from 57years ago. Most of the car is 90+%original except for the exterior paint, carpets and recent engine rebuild. Ithas the original painted wire wheels which are in excellent condition, notafter market spoke chrome wheels. The engine is strong, one of the best enginesMGB ever made, 5 main bearings, and was rebuilt in 2015 by the renowned MGBguru John Twist from University Motors. The car originally did not have anoverdrive transmission, so an original (hard to find) 1966 overdrivetransmission was added when the engine was rebuilt.A new clutch wasinstalled when the overdrive transmission was replaced. We still have theoriginal 4 speed transmission available. If buyer would like it we canship it with the car.The car was originally black and repainted with sameMGB stock black color, with the original black with white stripe leather seats.Driver seat is a little worn but still in great condition with a back benchcushion in the rear. Mechanics are in very good working condition, engine hasno more than the 3k miles after rebuild,carburetorswere rebuiltshortly after, engine runs smooth with great oil pressure 45-50 at idle,60-80PSI at highway speed. Transmission and overdrive shifts easily. Odometercurrently reads 12308 miles, but we cannot attest to its accuracy. Speedometerneeds to be calibrated to accommodate the Overdrive gear. At present thespeedometer shows that the car is running about 10-14 MPH slower than itactually is. The car also has the original 1966 Blauplunkt AM radio, it’scurrently not connected and I cannot attest to its status. Brakes were recentlydone. Convertible top is NEW, has a rear zipper window and because we live inNevada it has never been used. Car comes with a spare spoke wheel, originaljack and original Thor Hammer Company brass hammer, original documentsincluding the original service manual and some spare parts.
