1970  MGB Roadster PNC 169J

Chrome bumper model with wire wheels produced with birds mouth grill and no overdrive.

Owned for the last 42 years by myself, only three owners from new, was renovated in 1979-81 bare metal rebuild to the body, and again in 2009-10 where n/s and o/s floor replaced, A posts repaired, front under wing trumpets replaced, sills and castle rails both sides replaced, all body schutz wax oiled to prevent rust and under sealed the whole underneath of the vehicle with the addition of front wheel arch plastic protectors, the vehicle is on the MGB Register No 19067 Dated 21/08/1970. The car has been converted to a single 12Volt battery which is in the boot and starts first time. Original engine and gear box, I have kept the car as original as possible. Comes with Spare wheel and tonnau cover

Cosmetic.

The paint work is solid but a few areas have blemishing in the paint finish, the vehicle shows no sign of rust and is in generally very good solid condition.

The cylinder head is the old leaded version ported with bigger valves and piper half race cam fitted to the block in the 1980s but the head has a small crack which weeps water when starting up and stops when the engine is warm, I have been reluctant to put a sealer in the system as it had a new radiator fitted at the time and has never posed a problem since.

The bonnet is of aluminium which adds to lightness of the car and the hood and frame is in good condition, has inertia seat belts fitted, I have a recorded photo history of the renovation and as many receipts for purchases made for parts.

Car tax free and does not need an MOT but one can be provided before sale. Has never been raced or rallied.
