1972 MG MGB 1972 MGB. BRITISH RACING GREEN WITH BISCUIT TRIM
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very nice MGB Roadster in arguably the best color scheme. This car was recently purchased from it's older British car enthusiast owner who was downsizing his car collection in the state of North Carolina. This car appears to be an original 84k mile car that had a very nice cosmetic restoration performed about 15 years ago with little use since then.The bodywork and paint on this car is very good to excellent. The car received a nice, quality paint job that was well above average that we have seen on other MGB's. The car has attractive factory black decals above the factory side moldings. There are just a few minor blisters showing on the door bottoms, but hardly noticeable. There are a few small touch-ups to the paint, just from normal use. Panel gapping all around is excellent with good closing doors, hood, and trunk. The car's brightwork is super, being mostly all newly replaced or excellent original items. The windshield is a newer tinted replacement. There's some typical slight delaminating in the upper RH top corner near the passenger sunvisor, really of no concern.The car's interior is beautiful. It's been completely retrimmed in a quality biscuit trim kit with new seat covers, foam and diaphragms, matching panel kit, new carpet kit, arm rest, door pulls, etc. The car shows a perfect dashboard, console, excellent visors and original steering wheel. The soft top has been renewed in a black quality crush grain vinyl which looks correct for the car. The trunk area has been upgraded with a fitted carpet kit.Mechanically, the car is very good with a great running engine that starts easily on the key with little choke. It's well-tuned and has plenty of power. The car drives well with no issues except a slightly weakish third gear syncro. Tires appear newer and very grippy. There's evidence of a new stainless exhaust system and a pair of rear leaf springs fitted, that could need time to settle in. The car's underside appears quite solid with some minor corrosion showing just around the front toe boards of each floor.Included with vehicle is a host of new parts receipts from Victoria British Ltd, and photo documentation of the car's restoration.Overall, a lovely example of an MGB Roadster in superb colors. This cosmetically restored car drives well with it's original miles, and is ready to provide plenty of fun to it's next caretaker.Please look at all pictures / video and call or email with any questions.We will assist in shipping worldwide.
