MG MGB 1970
General description :
RECENT FULL RESTO, INCREDIBLE PAINT & INTERIOR, THOUSANDS IN RECEIPTS, MINT MGB!
There aren't many better ways to get into a British roadster than this 1970 MGB convertible. Fresh off a restoration, you get great looks, new components, and that amazing European roadster feeling all for a very affordable price.
This is the chrome lover's MGB. Not only is this an earlier model with the bright bumpers and grille, but also this recently restored roadster keeps everything looking great so the side trim line follows the European curves in an unbroken line. Plus, you get great additions such as the luggage rack that was a staple of these roadsters. It looks like it's just begging to have a wicker picnic basket tethered to it for a day-long meandering journey. And the wire wheel covers are always a nice way to add distinction. Best of all it's set in a the a modern and deep red, and a bright clearcoat color like this is exactly how you want to be seen on every sunny day.
Beneath the crisp black convertible top is a great black leather interior. You can tell plenty was invested inside from the moment you lay eves on the new bucket seats that offer nice bolstering for all-day comfort. The carpeting, dash, and door panels, also carry this fresh feeling. But the interior is far from a completely dark affair. The wood on the tops of the doors, gearshift knob, a surrounding the new Lecarra sports steering wheel give this true British warmth. Plus, there are nice upgrades like the center console and an AM/FM/CD stereo with modern amenities like Bluetooth and a place to plug in your iPod. But this is a true driver's car at heart. You a full set of Smiths gauges with a large speedometer and tachometer, as well as dials for other vitals such as oil, fuel, and water. And with investments in new electrics, you can be sure its in top condition.
While you can already tell how fresh the restoration is by the interior and exterior, the engine bay might just be where you appreciate it the most. After all, the presentation of the 1.8-liter and its twin carbs looks the best when everything looks so crisp – from the new hoses to the freshly painted block. But the true worth of the investment in this MGB is out on the road. This car is all about the driving experience, and so the front and rear suspension components are new (just look at the super-clean undercarriage photos.) You'll love the confidence this classic gives you as you take full control of the rev-happy motor with the four-speed manual transmission and the control of front disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, restoration photos, and thousands in $$$$ receipts, you're looking at the total package European roadster that's all smiles for so little money. So you know a deal like this will be going soon. Call today!!!
