I have owned this BGT since 1986 and completed a full restoration that spanned 2006 to 2013. This car was disassembled down to the monocoque tub. Every part down to the last nut and bolt was rebuilt, hite zinc plated, r replaced with new and or upgraded parts. I am a former SCCA racer, nd now a Vintage participant. This BGT is performance enhanced and prepped for reliability and a true period sports car experience. Approx. 1500 miles on restoration.

Overview

3rd place in first show at SoCal MG car club 9/2014. Considering the fact that the car was judged against proffesionally preppared cars, rd place was very satisfying. Well sorted. I would not hesitate driving this MGBGT from California to Maine. Cruises Interstate at 80mph @ 3800 RPM*. I have set this car up for spirited driving. I have never abused or raced this restoration. Holds the road like it is on rails. Brakes are excellent, traight line braking without pull, ut requires a lot of pedal pressure due to the twin, on assisted, djustable bias, ront/rear master cylinders. If you like the sound of a well built and tuned 4 cylinder motor, ou will love the pitch of this nicely prepared BGT. Stage one cam, luminum radiator, etronics distributor, luminum cross flow head ported and polished, eber outlaw 38/38 carburetor. Full performance suspension rebuild. Leather interior. This BGT is made for maintaining momentum, urning left, ight, nd braking. Cabin gets warm in hot weather, ut what BGT doesn't? Has never overheated even in the California desert summer heat. In fact I have to block off the radiator in cooler weather to get 180 degrees with a 195 thermostat. *Approx. estimate.

What needs attention.

This is a list of what I know needs or could use attention. There are possibly other minor issues that I have overlooked, ith no intention of non-discosure.

Speedometer: Speedometer tested positive out of car before installation. Suspect drive gear in transmission faulty. Actual milage unknown

Heater: Cross flow Head required a 3 inch extension to mount control valve due to valve cover interfering with installation. Cable control needs modification.

Horn: Steering wheel hub needs shorter button plunger. Horn functioning but disconnected.

Wipers: Functioning. Arms and blades not installed. Included.

Seat belts: New. Difficult to pull out due to inertia mechanism designed for vertical installation. Currently set for my driving position.

Typical paint nicks and scratches incured while restoring and road use.

Small drill hole in passenger door.

Slight oil leak at dip stick, could use new rubber seal) and light seepage at rear of valve cover. Over tightening would cause warping of valve cover and increase seepage.

Chip in dash under speedo/tac.
