1976 MG MGB Description:

This 1976 MGB is in very good condition. I have owned the vehicle for 39 of its 41 years, 30 of which in California and 4 years garaged while I lived overseas. When not in use the vehicle has always been parked in a garage. I have all of the maintenance receipts since I have owned the vehicle and they will be provided as part of the sale.
Body:
The paint is original and still has some shine. The driver side rocker panel and driver side rear outer panel were replaced in Feb. 1979. I hit an ice patch one night and slid into a 12 inch high bolder that was on the side of the road. The repair order is included in the receipts.
In a separate, non-driving incident, the driver door was hyper-extended which caused a small crease in the front fender. Additionally there are two stress fractures and three surface rust spots. One fracture is next to the passenger side mirror and the other is on top of the rocker panel, inside the driver's door. The rust spots are quarter size.Two are in identical locations, both sides of the car next to the anchor points for the Top Cover. The third is near passenger side headlight.
The rubber bumpers are in great condition and show no signs of sun damage. The frame is solid and straight. The wheels are in excellent condition and have been repainted a couple of times.
Interior:
Very good condition. Dash and instruments are original and like new. The driver seat has been renovated with new cushions, webbing and cover. Included in the sale I will provide new passenger seat covers, cushions, and webbing as well as replacement headrest covers, for both seats. The door panels are in good shape, however, both door top rails are cracked and weathered. Hidden underneath the generic carpets are brand new rubber floor mats. Floor boards, on both sides, have had surface rust treatment.
Exterior:
The top has been replaced with the zippered window version, while the tonneau and boot cover are original. The windshield has a 10 inch crack that has self-terminated on the passenger side. MGB striping is original. The back-flow mechanism in the fuel filler tube was removed in order to accommodate the newer, stubby, gas station fuel pumps.Tires have substantial tread remaining.
Suspension:
All original except for some bushing replacements. The driver side leaf spring is sagging. The suspension could use an upgrade.
Engine/Under the Hood:
The original engine runs smooth and the compression is still good. There is no indication of burning oil and although the oil pan gasket was recently replaced there is an engine oil leak. All components are original except I have replaced the radiator, alternator, water pump, master cylinder, smog pump and clutch.
Missing or Not Working:
- There is no radio or speakers
- Heater and Fan not working

- One of the two horns not working
- Emergency brake needs adjustment, may not hold on a hill

Clear title in my name. Reminder:In California all model year 1976 and newer vehicles have to pass smog emission requirements every two years. Smog related equipment cannot be removed or modified.This limits the owner's ability to modify and enhance engine performance.
