Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1973 MG-B!
The seller describes the vehicle as original, maintained, yet rarely driven. The car has some indications of an original car, but no supplied documentation or paperwork to support the mileage being original to the chassis.
Mechanically the car does feel like a mostly original MG-B. There is an added switch controlling fueling and the vehicle starts reliably and performed well during it 85+ degree photoshoot. Another confidence inspiring indication the vehicle may be original is the air pump remaining on the engine. These were commonly removed for a few free horsepower.
The gauges all appear to work. The seller noted the tachometer not working, but it working during the driving portions of the video.
This 1973 MG-B is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video! GatewayClassicCars.com
