£3,999 ONO

I got this MGB in late 2010 and had the body work restored and both rubber bumpers removed and exchanged for the bumper-leas Sebring look then priming and re painting, spending over £2,000 on it.

After it was on the road the engine was making a clunky noise so I replaced it with an £600.00 unleaded 1.8 Iver-Serl that had done around 15,000 Miles.

Some people prefer the B roadster for the joy of driving with the hood down. Some, like me prefer of the GT for the look. With the webasto roof open however you get the best of both worlds!

This car has the following details:
1980 MGB-GT
Webasto roof
Inca Yellow
Leather style interior
RoStyle Wheals
Body Reconditioned in 2011
Sebring rubber bumper conversion
Chrome Grill
Rally Lights
Iver-searl replaced engine
Unleaded head
Overdrive

It needs:
Overdrive switch needs replacing
Fuel tank has slight leak.

For more details please PM me!

Hey Nik - you do realise this is 10mm, and Vulpine has put the number plate on - what can you do to out do that?

You can all afford it! Something my wife didn't understand. You buy it for £4k (ono), hav fun with it, enjoy it for a few years and then sell it for £4k. 4k-4k+4k=£4k . Insurence is cheap also. I'm 26 and had a fault claim a few years back, £250 for a year insurance and that's with £5k agreed valuation.

Alright, alright, but in what year was it built?

About 30,000 men!

However I already have a load to get on with painting. Although if I get some cash for my B I'm sure some of the cash will go towards some tiny miniatures.

:D Well, I'm working on FPW at the moment - in both 10mm and 2mm...maybe I can get the French standards verbatim in both scales if I try hard enough?  ;) :d
