SUMMARY
From (very) long-term storage, just 196 miles from new and now fully refreshed in gleaming Snapdragon Yellow.
DESCRIPTION
- Very late production car with the revised dashboard, four-spoke steering wheel and Silver Grey and Black 'deck chair' trim
- Supplied new by Gibbs of Feltham and found its way to Scotland where it resided for many years
- When purchased by our vendor with 181 miles indicated, the paintwork had started to react to the weather. Consequently the car was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original colour of Snapdragon Yellow
- Additionally the engine was given a precautionary rebuild, new tank and fuel lines fitted, the brakes fully overhauled and everything else gone through to bring the little yellow 'B' back to life
- The internal paintwork, engine bay and boot are as original and untouched, and the hood and tonneau cover are as new
- Supplied with a Heritage Certificate and a small history file, mainly restoration invoices
- With just 196 miles in 42 years, it now has a new lease of life, either as a pure collectors item or simply to use and enjoy
- This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own such a miniscule mileage MGB at a sensible guide
