Very desirable first year chrome bumper convertable. Mechanically rebuilt.

Description for MG MGB 1963

Hello and thanks for looking :This is the highly desirable first year model . I have a clear Florida title and the vehicle is registered in my name and is tagged with a Florida Antique Plate. Approximately 2. 00 miles on mechanical rebuild. I purchased this vehicle about a year ago from an elderly gentleman . who happened to be a mechanic. He had owned the car for about 17 years. After he retired. with more free time on his hands. he decided to update the vehicle. He replaced the original three main bearing engine with a completely rebuilt 1980 MGB five bearing engine. This offers more reliability and power than the original. The original non-synchronized transmission was replaced with a completely rebuilt 1980 synchronized transmission with overdrive. The old 6 volt electrical system was upgraded to a 12 volt system. Other improvements were also made to improve handling and braking. Fortunately. he saved all parts just in case he might want to restore the car back to its original state. I still have them and they will be given to the lucky high bidder !. The car appears to have had one repaint. There is no evidence that the vehicle was ever involved in an accident. The paint shines nicely. but does have a few scratches and dings . There is paint bubbling on the left rear wheel well. The car rides and handles well. It will do highway speeds with no problems. The interior . which include seats. door panels. carpets and dash. are all in very good condition. as well as the trunk carpeting. The chrome is excellent . No rust or corrosion is evident anywhere. The undercarrige is also very good. I have the original wheels with the chrome rings and "moons". An extra radiator ( new and still in the box ). front grill . a regular convertible top. and more. I am selling this vehicle because . at 6'3". I have a difficult time getting in and out of the car !If your have questions. please ask before bidding. The car is located and securely garaged in sunny Inverness. Florida. It will be available for inspection upon request. Thanks again. Pete
