Beautifully Restored 1967 MGB

Description for MG MGB 1967

Beautifully restored 1967 MGB Roadster.

Meticulously restored. The car is beautiful inside and out and is a pleasure to drive. It has over $37,000 just in parts in this restoration. I am selling it because I don't have time to enjoy it anymore. It has just over 900 miles on it since the restoration. The odometer says ~130k miles from before the restoration.

Engine-

Original motor (no # plate on it) but it is the original motor 5 main that came in the car new. Restored with new pistons, valve job including valves and valve seats, timing chain, oil pan, crankshaft, motor was balanced and all new seals and bearings. Everything is new inside upon restoration a few years ago.

Professionally rebuilt Original SU carburetors. They are synchronized and work beautifully. Newer solid state SU fuel pump.
