"The current owner enjoyed the car since 2007, maintaining it regularly with recent significant invoices. Unfortunately, a few months ago, an issue arose while driving, causing the engine to cease. As the owner isn't very mechanically inclined, a local garage proposed a costly repair. Consequently, the decision was made to sell the car rather than proceed with the repair."

Description

Having seen 10 owners over time, this car underwent a repaint and maintains an appealing exterior with minimal rust. The interior, complete but worn, offers potential for easy replacements.

However, the engine is currently stuck and won't turn over. Upon inspection, it appears that the starter motor is misaligned, potentially causing it to be locked onto the flywheel, thereby jamming the engine. There are no apparent engine block damage. Two feasible solutions are evident: one involves lifting the engine to remove the starter and assess the flywheel, while the other entails replacing the engine with a relatively easy-to-find second-hand one.

This issue represents a straightforward fix for MGB enthusiasts, and the car holds significant potential for its future.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A thorough engine assessment is required, as the car isn't drivable at the moment. While the gearbox and brakes work well, it's important to note that the car is exempt from inspection/MOT. In 2020, a substantial invoice covered clutch, flywheel, and damper repairs (as shown in pictures). The car has wire wheels and worn tires. The overdrive function hasn't been tested.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is currently usable but shows signs of wear. A revamp would be beneficial, involving new carpeting and renovated seats. These items are readily available through Moss Parts in Europe.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork remains straight and largely free from serious rust concerns, with only a few spots evident in the inner wheel arch (visible in pictures). The underbody is in good and clean condition. The paintwork appears vibrant and clean, displaying only a few minor marks and scratches. Chrome bumpers and trims are in good shape. The roof is tidy and undamaged.

  • General condition:

    Any individual with mechanical know-how will likely find a solution for the engine, whether it involves fixing or replacing it. Pair that with an interior update, and you'll have a delightful classic MGB ready to be enjoyed next year.

  • 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.
