For Sale 1978 MGB GT in Brooklands green.
 
The time has come for me to sell my MGB GT.  I have owned for a few years and it has been a super reliable form of transport and a great car to drive. I have made a few half hearted attempts to sell it but have come to the conclusion that this time I do need to actually sell it rather than put up a crappy ad to keep the wife happy and hope no one notices.
 
Good points:
Structurally very sound  and cavity sealed in all the important places with Dynax S50 (about 4 big cans have gone in over time).
Engine has good oil pressure and no knocks or rattles. K&N alloy air filter assembly, electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust (lovely sound), new radiator a year or so back. Gearbox changes lovely with no graunches, slips or whines. Working overdrive (brilliant feature).
]Motolita steering wheel which was over £200 new.
5 very good tyres, rear two are pretty much new Avon ZT3s
Uprated lever arm shocks all round
Always serviced and maintained, oil changed every three months using comma sonic.
Some spares, including suspension, exhaust manifold and load of brand new oil filters.
Big history file including EVERY MOT THE CAR HAS EVER HAD.
Will come with 12 months MOT (booked in tomorrow)
 
Bad points:
Had a not so good respray before I got it and it is lifting in places. Mostly the metal is very sound underneath and has been treated to avoid rust. Filler strips rusting but have been waxed to prevent water ingress.  Passenger side wing will need attention soon. The exterior is certainly in need of TLC. Interior tired, carpets could do with replacing. Seats are ok but not the best.
 
It certainly isnt a project car, but nor is it going to win any concourse competitions. What I would call a driving restoration. You can have the fun of using it while sorting bits at your leisure.

I hate selling cars at the best of times and dont really want this one to go but I am pricing it low in the hope of a quick sale. I am looking for offers based on £995 ono.
 
Any questions just fire away or PM for a number. Viewings welcome and I am off the next two weeks so can arrange to me around most times.

Wow, that seems cheap. I know bugger all about the MG B's so just assume its worth more than £995. I realise its a rubber bumper model, but thought it would be worth more.

 

 

 

Good luck with the sale, not that I think you will need it.

cheers mate, they seem to go for a good bit more but I HATE selling cars and particularly the eBay style bid/ don't bother buying that seems common. If it goes on here at least I know its gone to an enthusiast who will enjoy it and look after it. At that money it would even make a cheap runabout for someone with the knowledge that you would always get your money back on it, if not a bit more.

Just back from the MOT. It has failed on a rear wheel dragging (not been used for a couple of months so needs a strip and clean) and the hazards flashing too quickly, so new flasher unit on order. So will have full MOT as soon as flasher unit arrives.

Retest sorted so. Ow has 12 months MOT. Open to offers and possibly PX
