Recently recommissioned following a period of storage, this MGB now starts on the button, the engine runs and it brakes, although the throttle cable is very loose and needs attention.
The MG itself is tired cosmetically with evidence of corrosion on most of the panels, although it does sport a set of Minilite alloys.
The hood appears in decent condition and it has what looks like a stainless back box.
The vendor advises that the B appears solid underneath.
The interior is a little aged as you would expect, and it is good to see what we believe to be the original seats still in place.
The odometer is showing a shade over 54,000 miles although we have no way of knowing if this is correct - other than the last MOT fail in 2012 showing a mileage of 54,043 miles.
