OVERALLThis MGB is in excellent condition overall.The color is known as Bronze Yellow and is even more vivid in person.The car is mechanically and cosmetically in beautiful condition.It has the desirable chrome bumpers and wire wheels.It also has a clean and clear Tennessee title.Over $7000 have been put into this car in the last few months.There is a breakdown of the new parts below (however it is not comprehensive) and receipts will be provided to the winning bidder, most items are from Moss Motors and Northwest Imports.
I was the owner/ operator of a successful restoration shop. I built this car as a retirement project. It was a two owner, garage kept MGB when I purchased it. It still had the original paint (lots of chips and faded beyond what a buffing could save). The body and interior have been overhauled and the drivetrain serviced as necessary. The car is showing approximately 99,000 miles. The gentleman I purchased from had owned the car since 1991 and he had purchased the car new. The mileage is believed accurate.
