1972 Mgb on 2040-cars

A purebred member of Her Majesty's empire, the MGB is coveted to this day by countless collectors and fun-loving folks who, young at heart, love going like the blazes in a lithe, stylish British Roadster that is easy to maintain thanks to a minimalist, no nonsense approach and a cottage industry that provides affordable spares aplenty. This is an exceptional car in more than one way and a prime candidate for any MG collector who looks for a unique specimen to add to the stable. It's a low mileage car and also a 100% bone stock (except for the stereo) chrome bumper MG,  retaining all of its factory-original interior. Aside from one repaint in the original Tartan Red color, it's a car as original as it gets. With only 53,428 miles currently showing on the car's odometer, engine runs very strong,  doesn't use any oil, smoke, or make any unusual noises. The MG's coachwork fits the survivor description perfectly.  The car doesn’t appear to have been in any accidents, as  its very straight and appears to be free of corrosion.  The repaint was only done because the original paint was too Thin & faded to be successfully buffed out.  MGBs were manufactured for 18 years and underwent many changes, especially to the interior. It's fascinating to behold the original design in its unadulterated, unmodified state. The pre-1976 cockpit is generally considered to be the most beautiful layout, charming, simple, but not austere -- right up there with the early Porsche 911 when it comes to sporting looks paired with functionality. Driving an early MGB is an exhilarating experience, to put it mildly. It's hard to describe to the uninitiated the pure joy you feel when putting this outstandingly preserved, vintage sports car through its paces. The direct connection between man and machine that the MG delivers is just not possible anymore with today's drive-by-wire gizmo-cars. The B starts easily, idles smoothly, steers and shifts wonderfully crisp.   The car sounds marvellous and responds eagerly to the driver's input. Wherever you park, a crowd of admirers quickly forms and this car receives nothing but the most favorable compliments.   While you don’t often find 41 year old British sports cars as nice as this I don’t want to over sell it by leading people to believe it is a show car or more than it is.  I would classify it as a number 3 car by old car value guide standards, meaning it is completely operable, presentable and serviceable inside & out needing no work to be enjoyed as a driver and taken to informal club activities. As you might imagine, being an early example of England's most popular Sixties sports car, this superb MGB is not dirt cheap, though it is a true bargain for an aficionado who can appreciate the value of a collectible MG.
