1967 MG MGB

Description

This is the MG for true enthusiasts. The 1967 MGB is an earlier model from the series with plenty of great classic touches. And this example has been under long-term care that also included a comprehensive restoration to make it quite a stunning driver.

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. We're told this car has spent over a quarter-century under the same ownership, and in that time there was a comprehensive restoration. It was completed in 2013 and has only gone about 2600 miles since then. There was a nice attention to detail in the work where you have classic elements (like the fender-mounted side mirrors) that meet with well-integrated upgrades (the Weld racing wheels have the right shine to coordinate with all this car's bright chrome.) And it's hard not to admire a drop-top classic when it's done in such a sleek and radiant red.

The black folding roof has a great look against the red, especially with its clean and well-fitting style. And beneath it is an even more impressive black interior. It all carries a fresher feeling from a proper investment. Some of these are classic pieces like the toggle switches, MG floor mats, and proper convertible boot. But just like the exterior, this one also has well-integrated upgrades. The bucket seats are quite comfortable with large headrests and modern bolstering. And the stereo is now an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to plug in your smartphone. Nice wood in places like the custom center stack, gearshift knob, and surrounding the sports steering wheel give this true British warmth. Plus, you have a full set of Smiths gauges for a proper classic sports car experience.

While you can already tell how comprehensive the restoration was by the interior and exterior, the engine bay might just be where you appreciate it the most. After all, the presentation of the 1800cc motor and its twin carbs looks the best when everything looks so crisp and clean. 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 ultra-clean undercarriage gives you added confidence on the road. You take full control of the rev-happy motor with the four-speed manual transmission (with electric overdrive) and the control of front disc brakes.

This is the nimble British roadster that is truly a cut-above when it comes to quality. In fact, you'd expect to pay a ton more (so you can use those savings to invest in the most modern tires or other details you may want.) A package this attractive rarely says here long, so hurry up and call today!
