1974 Chrome Bumper MG MGB

1974 MG MGB

I have owned this car for about 7 years and it has been very reliable. When I first purchased the car I restored the suspension and installed new tires and wheels, flushed the coolant and a few other "maintenance" items like that - mostly to make sure it was reliable when I had my wife or kids with me. It was a daily driver for about 1 month when I was restoring another car I owned at the time and short of running out of gas once (stupid!) it has never given me pause. I did upgrade some components such as the distributor to electronic, and the fuel pump when I felt it was not functioning 100%. I also repaired anything that was not "right", such as a new radio, interior light, or overflow bottle for the radiator, and fixed some vacuum lines that looked cracked. The vinyl roof has a few small rips (less than 1/4"), I don't drive in rain so not a big deal and carry duct tape with me if it did. I mostly put the top away once the weather warms up and use a tonnue cover I picked up as it is always garaged and was only driven on nice days in spring, summer, and fall.
I list the car as "Driver condition", where in it is not perfect, but from 6 feet back looks great. Up close you will notice minor imperfectionsin the paint and interior. Body wise there is no rust underneath, a dent on the tip of the hood, and appears that at one time a rear corner was bumped (it is painted black inside one corner of the trunk) though I am only assuming that. Some light scratching on the passenger fender. The interior looks pretty good, but the jute under the carpet is very dry and brittle, the seat foam is not very comfortable for long drives (drivers, I think passenger is better), seat coverings areok,one small tear on the drivers seat back. The dash does have a cover on it. It looks good enough for a date night or Sunday drive, but won't win any car shows, although if it gets bumped you won't get too worried either - which in my mind makes it more enjoyable to own and drive as you won't worry.
Here is some walk around videos I made earlier this spring:https://youtu.be/33Xq1yIqTbAandhttps://youtu.be/zJo-RPNxvMU
My plans were to install an older style all steel with the black wrinkle finish dash, so have one of those that comes with the car. I do have some of the original documentation along with some ownership documents, and have 5 original wire wheels.
