Lot details Registration No: JWO783P Chassis No: GHD5371805G Mot Expiry: Jan 2008
Some twenty-seven years after it ceased production, the MGB remains as popular as ever. One of Britain's best loved sportscars, the model's handsome styling, spirited performance and balanced handling have won it a veritable army of fans. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a 'live' rear axle, disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering, it relied (in both 'Roadster' and 'GT' guises) on a 1798cc four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Tough, dependable and easy to maintain, the MGB remains in many ways the ideal classic.
Finished in Blaze Orange with Navy Blue cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Reportedly the subject of an "extensive bodywork restoration with all new panels and photo evidence", 'JWO 783P' is also understood to have had "many of its mechanical parts replaced or reconditioned". Riding on 'minilite' alloy wheels, this tempting MGB GT is offered for sale entirely without reserve but with a MOT certificate valid until January 2008.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
