1967 MGB Roadster Mkll (Convertible) Sports Car

The 1967 year is considered among MGB experts to be the “single most desirable model” in the range, featuring an updated engine, full chrome, classic black steel dashboard with rocker switches, front anti-roll bar, backup lights, etc. The MGB’s performance was brisk, aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling is and was one of the MGB’s strongest points. The MG engines were upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft improving reliability. Starting in 68, after this model, the US-market gradually started to force de-tuning compliance, causing a marked reduction in performance. This 67 MGB Roadster up for the offering is the “Real Deal” vintage collectable British sports car to have. This quality of 67 MGB do not come on the market often, get it while you can.

Besides being the right year, this is a particularly solid (no rust) and original very well maintained B, always garaged (I’m the third owner). The interior was restored a few years back including black leather seats with white piping and full black carpet. The soft top is like new and the car comes with a tonneau cover also. She is dress in her original paint -Primrose Yellow and painted wire wheels, (two full wire spares com with the car) has nice original patina and chrome is good too. The paint is decent, but has few dings/chips, a tiny dent and a small skin crack on passenger door very common with roadsters (see photos – easily fixed). I was going to do a re-spray and show the car, but the market has changed and original paint is considered more desirable now, just like with other antiques. This is a #3+ or 2- car. But with a bit of body touchup and conditioning this would be a solid # 2 car and ready for the car shows; or don’t and just drive and enjoy. I would just do a few touch-ups and detail the engine bay and leave it alone to keep is most value (which is going up) She was in a few parades last year and has even had a queen in the passenger seat. The engine is matching and in great running condition, everything works, has updated petronics ignition, newer rear springs and has just been fully serviced and tuned for the 2014 season. This is a wonderful turnkey unmolested and original 67 MGB with only 69,500 miles. This is a must have for any good investment collection.

The typical current average auction price for this car is $14,380 in this condition and NADA values the car at $ 14,850. My reserve is set a much lower than that… Really! So happy bidding and someone is going to get a great car and a real good deal! If you know MGBs, you’ll see how great this example is. If you’re new to the MG marque, The MGB is one of the most classically designed, practical (25mpg), reliable (easy to service, readily available parts) and fun sports cars of all time. No wonder they built them for 18 years! And you just found the “best of the breed”! If you ever wanted a classic MGB, this is the one to have. The only reason I’m selling her is because I have four classic British cars currently and only have room to winter store three. I know I will later regret selling her

The MGB is available for inspection or appraisal anytime. Only serious experienced bidders and British car collectors please. Feel free to email me anytime. - Matt

A bit of history : When introduced in 1962, the MGB featured an all new unibody body shell sharing many styling cues with its Midget sibling. Mechanically an evolution of the MGA it replaced, the MGB was powered by a 1,798cc B-Series engine rated at 95 bhp and mated to a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh on the top three gears and an optional overdrive. The independent front suspension used coil springs and lever shock absorbers, while the live rear axle was suspended by leaf springs and lever shocks. Comforts included greater interior and trunk space as well as roll-up windows. Virtually unchanged cosmetically, in 1965 the MGB received a more robust five-main-bearing version of the B-Series engine and was joined by the stylish MGB/GT coupe, which was a Pininfarina-designed mini-grand tourer with a rear hatch. For 1968 MGBs and GTs received an alternator, back-up lights and an all-synchro gearbox, while American market cars were fitted with an emissions air pump and a padded dashboard. For many years MG sold as many MGBs as they could build.
