Chassis no. GHN3L107782. British Racing Green with black top over black piped in red. 1798/95hp, Monza exhaust, 4-speed, alloy wheels, store brand tires, boot cover, woodrim steering wheel.

Evaluation: Represented with 200 miles on a restoration. Original engine. Arizona car since new. Beautiful new interior, although upholstery isn’t the correct type. Restored, dry and clean underneath. Good fresh paint. Older chrome with scratches on the rear bumper. Dull marker lenses. The panel fit also isn’t very good, particularly on the doors. A few details away from being perfect but, come on, it’s just an MGB.

Bottom Line: Don’t tell that to the buyer, though. This is concours car money for something that isn’t up to that standard. Original drivetrain and fresh restoration work are big pluses on an MGB, but these are not rare roadsters and it would not be difficult to find one this good for cheaper. Buyer paid for the satisfaction of right here, right now.
