Description

Back in 2014, while attending a UK car show, the buyer came across this car for sale and couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase it. The seller had spent £14,400 on a new heritage body from MOSS Europe, so the deal was completed, and the car was imported and registered in Sweden in 2014. In 2015, the car received new chrome bumpers, a new grill, and a new interior to meet the owner's demands. What's really intriguing about these new bodies is that they're designed to fit a V8 engine and are also ready for Left/Right hand drive. A really nice added feature is that the owner will include a left hand drive dashboard and steering rack, and the conversion can be completed over the course of a weekend in your garage. Mileage of 41746 miles is most likely 141,735 miles.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    This car is regularly serviced and driven only in the summer; during our test drive, the car started easily and drove smoothly in the engine, gearbox, and brakes. The temperature gauge is broken and needs to be replaced, but the thermostat is operational. When you start the car, the ignition key may not return to its original position. The car inspected/Moted for ever and is ready to be driven home.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior was replaced in 2015, with new seats, door cards, and carpets, and it is still in good condition. The original headliner is in good shape with some marks, and the dashboard has the original gauges and buttons. There's also a nice wooden steering wheel.

  • Exterior condition:

    It's not often that an MGB is rust free and has no body filler, but this one is. In 2015, newer chrome bumpers and grill were fitted, as well as nice alloy wheels and good tyres. Nice paintwork with a small dent on the drivers sill (see photo).

  • General condition:

    Nice car as is, but the option of upgrading to a V8 and left-hand drive is very appealing; how many opportunities will there be in the future to purchase a new body car and well over 200,000 SEK spent to date?

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
