Notes / comments / updateThere are many good/fair MGB's for sale on Ebay and other sites for $ 5. 00 to $7. 00. This is NOT one of them. This is an original condition car in great shape for a 35 year old car. Only 19. 00 miles. Look at the mileage on other cars for sale. I have owned 3 MGB's in my life. I know what I am talking about. Look at the paint line at the sheet metal seams on the rear of the car. The paint is always chipped or messed up. This car is nice. Any one who knows about MGB cars knows the paint always has "spider cracks". This paint is much nicer than most. I don't know why these cars do not sell for more but this car still should be a $15. 00 to $20. 00 car. The reserve is much less than that because I am retired and want to see it move onto someone else who will have fun with it. I did notice a small chip in the windshield. low. in the middle. Trying to be as accurate as possible. If you are a real bidder and want a picture of some part of the car. let me know. If you want a beautiful. original car that you can drive or preserve. this is your car. Don't pass it up. Spring is here !!
