1980 MG MGB Low Miles!!!

1980 MG MGB Description:

Here's a rare example of MGB. It has only 9500 miles on it. It had been driven sparingly by its first owner until it had a very minor fire in the mid 1990s. A fuel hose sprung a leak and there was a minor fire at firewall by heater box. Back then these were worth a grand or less, so the insurance co. Wrote it off due to cost of paint and a few other minor repairs. With that said the title does say rebuilt. I saw no concern with that when I bought it as this MG has its original sheet metal with not a speck of rust ever. No hits or body damage either. Moving on the second owner removed heater box and repaired paint and replaced some wiring and hoses. He installed new tires and drove it some and had health issues, so it was parked inside for several more years. I bought it late last year.I serviced engine with new fuel and cooling hoses, water pump and coolant. Distributor was replaced with a new old stock Lucas 25D4. Brakes done with new hoses, rotors and pads in front and new wheel cylinders in the rear using the original brake shoes! I upgraded the intake and carb with an intake I purchased from Australia and a new SU HIF44 carb and new fuel pump. New Bell big bore exhaust replacing the original which was like new. The Bell gives a sweet exhaust note. New Minilite type wheels installed and has matching spare as well. The jack and wrench tool kit is complete and unused. I installed new carpet and seats to increase comfort. I also installed a limited edition type steering wheel. The Convertible top is new as well as the top boot cover. The top did not need replacement, but I wanted it a new one as I'm more fussy than most people. The trunk has a carpet kit to make it more finished than the original with the just painted look.This car is sharp and ready to drive. Runs perfect and drives like a MGB should. Lastly I did the chrome bumper conversion. The car had a respray due to modern paint is too shiny and would not match quite right. It's not a show car, but its not too far from it. I'm selling due to I need a bigger toy my family can ride in. I have a fortune in this car (11k in this car with over 8k in receipts alone for parts) but listing this car at a Very fair price. Comes with a pile of receipts, see third to last photo. Second to last photo is the day I brought it home. The buyer is getting a 100 % rust free car that has been restored as required to make it like new again. Of course sold as is as shown like most used cars. Feel free to ask questions.
