Beschreibung:

MG MGB 1966 A car from the first years of production; featuring a very attractive paintwork; after a thorough mechanical restoration , Engine: Inline, four-cylinder, 1.8-litre; power output: 95 KM; other: manual, four-speed gearbox, rear-wheel drive; legal condition: registered in Poland, yellow number plates The MG B presented on the auction organised by Ardor Auctions was made in 1966 and was originally destined for the American market. It was used in California until 2002, when it was shipped to Poland. Its new owner decided have a full restoration done. It took two years and included thorough restoration works on bodywork, paintwork, mechanics and interior. The bodywork has a new British Racing Green paintwork chosen from the Lotus Cars colour pallet. Even after 12 years of use the paintwork still looks fresh. The only things requiring work are the boot lid and front “teeth” on the original, chrome bumper. These are the only signs of wear and tear on this beautiful roadster. The roof is in ideal condition and was recently fitted with new plastic windows. An interesting feature is a steel storage mounted on the boot lid, which was an accessory. The interior is a huge asset of this example. The owner decided to steer away from the original specification and had a wooden dashboard fitted, which matches the bright, high-quality leather upholstery. The car underwent a thorough mechanical inspection, during which valve rocker arms were replaced and regular maintenance tasks were performed. The MG B drives as a cult roadster should. Stylish combination of a cream interior with legendary green paint is an icing on the cake.
