THIS MGB GT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN BERN SWITZERLAND. THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL A HOME MARKET CAR, THEREFORE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE U.S. SAFETY REQUIRED PADDED DASH. IT HAS THE EARLIER METAL DASH. I HAVE THE SERVICE BOOK FROM THE SELLING DEALER. SOLD 11-20-1969, WITH ROSTYLE WHEELS AND A REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. I CANNOT SAY WHAT THE CORRECT MILEAGE IS. I CAN SAY THAT THE LAST SERVICE BEFORE THE CAR WAS EXPORTED WAS DONE ON 10-1-1985 AT 73420 KM. IT WAS SOLD TO A U.S. SOLDIER SHORTLY AFTER THAT. HE SHIPPED THE CAR TO NORTH CAROLINA. I ASSUME THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS CHANGED AT THAT TIME TO A MPH TYPE. IT NOW SHOWS 6653 MILES. IT WAS THEN SOLD AND MOVED TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THAT OWNER RETIRED AND MOVED TO LAS VEGAS AND THAT IS WERE I BOUGHT IT FROM,. MECHANICALLY THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES PERFECTLY, I USE IT EVERY DAY TO DRIVE FROM COTTONWOOD TO SEDONA AND BACK. ALL ELECTRICS WORK, RECENT ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT. CORRECT DUAL BATTERIES. GAUGES WORK, SPEEDO WIGGLES A SLIGHT BIT. THE ONLY AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION, K-N AIR CLEANER,DUAL OUTLET EXHAUST AND THE RETRO RADIO WITH USB PORT. THE INTERIOR IS NICE, ONLY THE REAR PANELS HAVE BEEN CUT FOR SPEAKERS. ENGINE NUMBER IS CORRECT AS PER THE SERVICE BOOK. OVERDRIVE WORKS SMOOTH AS DOES THE TRANSMISSION. THE CLUTCH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR EXHAUST. NOW FOR THE BAD, THE CAR NEEDS A PAINT JOB. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WANTED TO PAINT IT PRIMROSE YELLOW AND HE STARTED TO PAINT THE INNER SILLS AND TRIM. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE. I HAVE THE TRUNK EMBLEMS, THE PREVIOUS OWNER REMOVED THEM TO PREPARE FOR PAINT. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID. I DID NOTICE ONE SMALL RUST SPOT ON THE RIGHT FRONT BACK PART OF THE FENDER WELL. THE ROCKERS ARE SOLID AS ARE THE JACK HOLES. IT HAS THE CORRECT ALUMINUM HOOD. NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES. FLY TO PHOENIX AND DRIVE IT HOME! THIS IS A RARE CAR THAT NEEDS ONLY A GOOD PAINT JOB.
