1973 MGB Roadster

High-spec chrome bumper Roadster; MGOC recon engine and unleaded head 2012; sports exhaust; ground up restored 2009/10

This Harvest Gold 1973 B Roadster has been with our vendor since 2015, having been through a ground up restoration by a previous owner in around 2009/10.

Photos on file show it stripped to the bare shell, and carefully prep'd and painted, including a comprehsensive underseal which has kept the car in excellent condition.

Bills for two new doors are among the many invoices on file, which also include an MGOC rebuilt engine with unleaded head. The car is bristling with extras, including a roll bar, wind break, comfy leather reclining seats, wood dash and a wooden steering wheel.

The overall mileage is unknown, but the car appears to have covered around 5,000 miles since restoration - enough to shake down the car without wearing it out!

It comes with a couple of MG books and in the boot, a tonneau cover.

Running well around 12 months ago, we have not been able to fire it up since arrival on site - we suspect a lazy fuel pump. The oil pressure shot straight up when cranking and it should be a simple task to get it fired up once more.

On offer for a fraction of the price of restoring one yourself, this MkII chrome bumper car looks terrific value at the suggested guide price.
