1965 MGB Roadster Roadster

1965 MG MGB Convertible

This is a 1965 MGB Mark I. The car was restored in ~1997. From 1998 to 2016, the car was parked. I have repaired, upgraded, and replaced many of the mechanical components, but the fenders have rusted, and a cosmetic restoration is overdue. The car runs very well, but I have too many old British cars. I need to make space in the driveway. This is a fun car for my daily commute. It would make a good restoration project, or a really good parts car for an ongoing restoration.
