Description

Original 1973 Chrome bumper MGB GT in (original Damask Red) was No:2 in UK of top five sought after colours in 1973. NO:1 Glacier white (513 or 19. 7%) NO:2 Damask Red (471 or 18. 2%) which is now becoming quite RARE. This car is a lovely example of one of Britain's favourite affordable classics. My car has had a full mot earlier this year & valid until MOT 27/ 05/ 25, FREE tax until 1/ 06/ 25. The car is in very good running, safe & legal road worthy driving condition, and could be daily used with no issues at all. It has been my little pride & job project over covid lock down and I am a true owner enthusiast and I only ever take her out and drive it on dry sunny days, The car is in very good overall rust free & shiny/ glossy condition. I have lots of old MOTs, bills and receipts dating back for many years with thousands of pounds spent. includes: Many new parts : full stainless steel exhaust, New Brakes, New batteries, rebuilt engine, rebuilt overdrive, new oil cooler set K&N 'MGB' Air filter upgrade Halogen headlamps New ignition parts, including leads, coil, plugs and points and much more. As you can see in the engine pictures its spotless, the paintwork has a good shine. Obviously, for a car at this price and age of 51/ 52yrs old, there are some minor marks, there is a slight bubble in the paint on the upper right wing which is not noticable and I have a slight split on my vinyl sunroof which has been repaired. The chrome-work is generally all very good, with only some very minor pitting here and there, brasso & a little bit of effort but overall very good. The GT wheels have been fully refurbished and chrome trims are fitted. The interior is very clean/ tidy & all original, and the seats are comfortable as is the drive. The seats don't have any nasty rips or tears, the carpets are nice and clean. The car is very reliable & starts, runs, drives and stops very well as it should. The car engine pulls readily and there are no nasty rattles or smoke, whines etc. Gears all select very well and the overdrive functions flawlessly engages and has been fully refurbed a few years ago. Structurally, the car was fully inspectedtop to bottom on a ramp and all appears to be very sound/ good condition. The sills, castle rails, chassis legs and spring hangers all appear to be just fine. There aren't any nasty patches of welding, it's all good and sound condition. This little Car has to be seen & driven to be apprechated, My Car was awarded contours winner 2nd Place a few years ago and the award is pictured is enclosed in the photos. I would have won a better catagory, but the slight bubblein the paint on the upper wing did it. Please we ask at this time, no tire kickers or time wasters, this is as close to original & genuine classic car and im a genuine private seller.
Any AA or RAC inspections very welcome. Bought this little car for my 50th Birthday, easy to maintain and parts are very reasonable
