MG MGB 1979
General description :
Een MG MGB welke zich uitstekend leent als basis voor restauratie! Betreft een zeer gave import vanuit de Amerikaanse staat Californië waar het gunstige klimaat zorgde dat deze klassieke Brit in een prima conditie geconserveerd bleef. Het chassis en de onderzijde verkeren in een solide en originele staat, winter weer met pekel heeft deze MG niet hoeven trotseren. De body is strak en gaaf met een nette pasvorm, uiteraard wel (meerdere keren) nieuw gespoten door het branden van de zon. Al met al een prima basis voor project en ombouwen tot chroom bumper is een betaalbare optie. Deze MG zal worden geleverd met Amerikaanse registratie papieren en invoerdocumenten, de importbelastingen zijn reeds voldaan. Prijswijzigingen, druk- en zetfouten voorbehouden.
