I saw this in the TMF classified and just had to have it!! I'm a sucker for MG's and this one ticked all of my boxes!!

I drove it back from Notts to Telford last night, pretty uneventful. Ok, the lights stopped working and it ran like a dog, thats still better than I was expecting from a car that's barely moved in the last 2 years!!

Pictures..

Its pretty tidy, comes with a photo album full of pictures from its restoration and a load of bills and reciepts

The interior needs a tidy up and I need to sort the rough running.

Apart from that it needs very little work.......

Great buyy, Alloys are great, the later interiors are horrid, especially the orange seats. At least the Midget only changed the clocks in 78 to the same ones in the Spitfire..

Mines for sale cheap ;-)

Sebring MGBs are gorgeous, but some of the kits are really bad fit at the moment. What's the plan Shifty? Keep it fairly standard or have a play!

Cheers, all standard!!

Had a little play and its running too weak, the k and n filters need a richer needle so will have to sort that.

Really happy with it though, drives spot on.

Will be off to the Welsh MG centre tomorrow to spend some money, needs..

Needles

Tailgate seal

(seat refurb kit.....Possibly!!)
