Description
It came to Sweden from the USA as moving goods back in 1989. The owner hardly ever drove the car and neither did his son who inherited it in 2008. The current owner bought the MGB shortly afterwards and it had reportedly been stored in a barn for 20 years with a few standing starts. When the current owner bought the car, it only ran on three cylinders. A valve was stuck and a pushrod had bent. The top was rebuilt and all push rods were checked or replaced. He also saw to it that all the brake pipes were replaced and many other measures. In recent years, the well-known and knowledgeable MG man Ulf Edström in Gothenburg has handled other services and repairs and made sure that everything is as it should be on an MGB GT.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The current owner has had the engine head restored with carefully grounded valves. Vibrant and good feeling in the drivetrain with an overdrive that also works in third gear according to factory standards.
-
Interior condition
Original interior in finely worn and fresh condition. The original steering wheel and gear lever knob are also things that many appreciate.
-
Exterior condition
Repainted in whole or in part at some point in the country of export, i.e. the USA. During the years in the barn, something has fallen on the left side and there is two small paint damage on the front and rear wings. Otherwise, good paint with potential. Newer chrome spoke wheels purchased in Sweden, and also with good and period Uniroyal tyres.
-
General condition
Carefully cared for over the years by the last owner. This is well-functioning MGB GT in nice and user-friendly condition.

Facts about the model
Den täckta shooting brake-versionen MGB GT introducerades 1965 och fick sin form av Pininfarina. Med plats för betydligt mer bagage än i Roadstern var den också betydligt mer praktisk, men i övrigt var det mest bara andra fjädrar och krängningshämmare som skilde.
MGC var en sexcylindrig version som såldes mellan 1967 och 1969 och den hårdaste varianten var MGB V8 – med den stora aluminium-åttan från Rover. Tack vare att MGB tillverkades i stort antal, och ända fram till åttiotalet, finns alla reservdelar och tillbehör fortfarande att köpa, både som originaldelar och nyproducerade eftermarknadsdelar. En eftertraktad och uppskattad sportig och förhållandevis praktisk hobbybil som stigit i värde de senaste åren både i Europa och I USA.
