or to vote for this car or leave a comment

  • Engine Rebuilt and Detailed

  • All new interior

This was originally very nicely restored/updated in 2015 (not by me). A 79 MG B. The gentleman bought this car as a completely disassembled project. The car already had extensive, professionally preformed body and rust repairs and the color had been changed to Brooklands Green (a year correct color), but it was otherwise a rolling shell plus many boxes of new and used parts. Over time he brought the car to the level it is at now. Every system has been attended to, all lights, horns and gauges work. Engine has been completely rebuilt, 4 speed transmission inspected, front seal, clutch, pressure plate TOB and lube replaced, powder coated front cross member, suspension bushings replaced front and rear, new lowering springs in front and lowering blocks in rear, polished Tourist Trophy stainless exhaust, 2 Brand New SU HS4 carbs and factory pre-emission intake and exhaust manifolds, new wheel bearings, new brake and fuel lines, powder coated and rebuilt calipers, new drilled and slotted rotors, new master cylinder, new rear shoes and hardware, detailed rear axle new fuel tank, fuel pump and sending unit, new Die Hard Battery, refinished Rostyle wheels with Hankook tires, detailed under hood and in trunk, (he even painted the jack), new dash pad, new perforated vinyl seats, new interior panels and carpet, new heater box, refinished rubber bumpers look better than new. The Odometer he originally got with the car now showed 49999 miles SOLD in 2015,
Bought by me 6/28/20 - some changes since 2015.
