Description

It was delivered new in Sweden in July 1966. Eighteen years later, in 1984, the car was taken off the road and became a restoration project. It still is, and to get this car back in shape it will require a complete disassembly, correcting welds that don’t meet the standard, and then a full restoration with everything that entails in terms of time and cost. For a skilled mechanic with both bodywork and painting knowledge, it is a reasonable project. Most parts are included; what is missing are the side windows and probably a few other items, but we have had two knowledgeable MG enthusiasts go through all the parts and try to identify them.

Facts about the model

At the end of the 1950s, the project was launched to develop the MGB as the successor to the MGA. In September 1962, the new roadster was unveiled and received positive reviews from both the motoring press and buyers. The 1798 cc engine with twin SU carburetors provided excellent performance for the time. The gearbox was a four-speed, and for a modest extra cost, buyers could opt for an electric overdrive.

From 1965, the technology was improved with a five-bearing crankshaft, an oil cooler as standard, and an electric tachometer. That same year, a stylish and practical three-door 2+2 coupé version was introduced, called the GT, in a then-fashionable fastback design by Pininfarina. It was designed so that hunting, golf, and other sports and leisure equipment could fit into a sports car.

Even though another British classic carries the nickname “the Mini,” this car could just as well be called the perfect vehicle for a couple of Westies in the back. The small rear seat had a folding backrest. Two years later, a six-cylinder engine was fitted, available both in open and closed versions, called the MGC. And a little later, it also came with Rover’s aluminum V8, significantly lighter than the cast-iron six, which had originally been a truck engine.

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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
