Description : Gateway Classic Cars is excited to offer this 1973 MG MGB Roadster. The current owner obtained this roadster about 18 years ago. Since owning this piece of MG history, the current owner took the car to Connell's MG in Indianapolis to start the restore. Also provided pictures throughout the process, even showing the car's body on a rotisserie being repainted. Frame was acid dipped and then sealed to prevent rust. The restoration appears to be completed in 2019 based off of the restoration pictures dates. The owner also provided a certified copy of a factory record from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust showing the original color as Blaze, date of build, and etc. Walking around this beauty one should notice the gloss orange paint that is offset with a black manual convertible top. Adding to the curb appeal are the chrome bumpers, chrome headlight bezels, chrome handles, chrome accent trim, tri-wiper set up, chrome rear luggage rack, polished exhaust tip, and 14" chrome wire wheels wrapped in radial tires. The black interior flows well with the exterior theme. Additionally sporting bucket vinyl seats, woodgrain steering wheel, woodgrain shifter knob, chrome accent trim, black carpeting, and floor mats. Powering this MG is an Inline 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Engine and transmission are both rebuilt and was completed at the same time of the other items in 2019. Per the owner she only has 3500 miles on her since the restoration! If you are looking for a restored European sports car, this could be the one for you .
