The Background
Introduced in 1962, thanks to its affordable pricing and ease of everyday use, the MGB quickly became one of the most popular British sports cars of all time and remains so today.
The History
The current owner has had this MG for around 7 years, having wanted one for a while tasked a classic car dealer friend to find the best one he could for him, however in the time he's owned it, he has had less time than expected to get out and drive it, so has decided to part with the car.
The previous owner had it for many years and was a real enthusiast, lavishing a huge amount throughout the 90s and 00’s, including an Ivor Searle engine in 1991 and underwent a huge body restoration in 1999.

The Paperwork
There is a huge folder of receipts with this car, the gentleman who owned it for around 20 years from the late 1980s until recently looked after it well and kept all his records and receipts so it's easy to see how much he enjoyed the car and was willing to spend to keep it in as good a condition as possible. The receipts show lots of parts from the MG Owners Club shop - an excellent source of original spec parts - being supplied to garages and restorers.
The Interior
There are no records of the interior being retrimmed when the car was restored in 1999, but the condition of the black vinyl seats with their red piping and matching door cards suggests they are relatively new to the car, the carpet is also very good and the dashboard has been updated to wood rather than the usual black crackle finish, and it is complemented by a wooden gear knob and wood rimmed Moto-lita style steering wheel.

The Exterior
Being a chrome bumper model, this is the more desirable earlier version, and those bumpers were replaced with new items in 1995 and they still look good today, with just some very light pitting on the front overriders.
The car underwent a very extensive restoration in 1999, being stripped completely and many new panels - the sills, rear inner and out arches, front wings, door skins and front valance, were all replaced and wheels sandblasted before a full respray in the red we see today. The paint still holds a good shine and looks very presentable, however recently some microblistering has started to appear in places, however the panels appear to be free of any damage or corrosion and underneath also appears very clean and solid.

The hood was replaced in 1993 and still looks excellent, the windows are bright and clear with no creases, and the light lenses also look very crisp and fresh.
There are chrome wheels with a near perfect finish and recent Hankook tyres with very little wear.

The Mechanics
The car has had lots done to it over the years, most notably in 1996 a new Ivor Searle engine was fitted by Bamford Engineering who also changed the clutch, although the clutch was changed again just last month at a cost of £830.
A new radiator and starter motor were fitted in 1999 and a Kenlowe fan has been added later, the front suspension, wishbones and dampers were done in 1996 and it had new brake flexi hoses in 2002.
It has a four speed gearbox but benefits from a Laycock overdrive being fitted.
Despite being exempt, the vendor has also just put a new MOT on the car, which it passed without issue, for added peace of mind for any potential bidders.

The Appeal
The quintessential British sports car, in drop top form with chrome bumpers and wire wheels and the ideal colour, this will be the perfect sports car for many. MGBs are fun to drive and easy to own with simple mechanics and low running costs.
With a new engine and full restoration under its belt, micro blisters aside this car is close to as good as it gets and ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
