MGB GT 1979 Manual with Overdrive - This nice and unusual in white, MGB GT was last used when it participated a European road Rally which it completed without a problem, then on its return home it was parked in a garage which is where it has been since 2008. Overall the body work is very good, nice and straight with only minor areas that could be improved on and in no way to be mixed up with the rusty hulks often offered for sale. Its solid condition you would think, is due in the main by the anti-rust treatment this car has had, the presence of anti-rust treatment plugs in the holes they drill to fill the chassis doors etc with treatment proving this. It is equipped with a rare Webasto slide back vinyl roof which does have two small splits, one each side where it folds, but is still serviceable and looks to be the original. Interior is good with the original seat covers in place. There are no nasty rips etc but there are some marks from where items had been stored in the car, these may clean. Roof lining is very good, as is the dash that has no damage at all, the floor carpets are good as well. Mileage on the clock reads 85387 and looks like it could be original, but with no history there is no proof of this. There is however, a very nice "Moto-Lita" steering wheel in place. This was fitted prior to the European trip and that is the only use it has had. Mechanically the engine and box are both good, with the engine showing very good oil pressure even when hot. The general mechanics are good with brakes etc working and all the electrics function properly. To sum up, this is not a show car but one you can use and improve as you go, or just leave it alone and just enjoy owning one of Britains favourite and much loved classic cars. With prices on these "Rubber Bumper" models now heavily on the up, its refreshing to have a running driving solid car being offered at a sensible reserve.
