Description
Great Example - 1971 MGB GT
During ownership it’s been maintained both mechanically and more importantly structurally / body work. The car was re-silled to both sides by MG specialist garage in 2012 for the O/ S and the N/ S in 2015.
Full sill replacement comprising front wing removal with new castle rail , centre liner and outer sill with quarter wing repair for the lower rear wing to allow sill access was completed with full internal paint and rust protection. The rear tailgate and front valence was replaced around the same time.
The lower half rear wings and N/ S door had both been replaced under the second owner’s custody along with both front wings in 1999. All recorded in a intensive history file.
In the history file the engine was overhauled in 1994 with new rings bearings pushrods and followers. In 2007 the car received a unleaded cylinder head
Due to the three enthusiastic previous owners the car is in excellent condition throughout, shown by its original interior carpets and rubber floor matts in Autumn Leaf.
The dash was changed for a re-crackled same replacement. The front Autumn Leaf vinyl/ velour seats were retrimmed with new foams etc. Finally, the liner panels to front/ rear footwells and door panels were replaced to compliment a fantastic interior.
Mechanically the car is in fine fettle with electronic ignition new servo brakes and the all ready mentioned overhauled engine.
To compliment the rest of the car some fettling to the bodywork for improved fitment was carried out along with a full repaint to the already heavily rebuilt body in 2021 by the same MG specialist. The bonnet roof and offside door were original factory paint.
All brightwork and finishers were in excellent condition further complimenting the condition of the car.
A superb example to all areas that drives as good as it looks. Comes with Heritage Certificate - Low number of previous owners is testament to how good the car is.
