Description
The seller acquired this 1973 MGB Roadster in September 2013, and it is now available through auction. The car is propelled by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and it boasts a Damask Red exterior with chrome accents and a black soft top.
Notable features include 14″ Rostyle wheels, chrome bumpers, dual mirrors, a luggage rack, a heater, and an aftermarket stereo system. Showing 29k miles, it comes with clean British Columbia registration in the seller's name.
For US bidders, this MGB is directly importable without modification as it is EPA & DOT exempt being greater than 25 years old. For more information on transport/import please visit our Transport/Import page here.
Having undergone refinishing in its original Damask Red hue during a previous ownership, the MGB showcases a black convertible soft top, chrome bumpers, quarter vent windows, dual fender-mounted mirrors, and a trunk-mounted luggage rack. The sale includes a black tonneau cover and boot cover. Louvered fenders and hood enhance the sporty MGB aesthetic, complemented by the addition of a chrome roll bar.
The aftermarket front valence, featuring a scooped shape for added downforce, has some rock chips and a crack noted on the passenger side. The Rostyle 14″ steel wheels wear polished trim rings and older 185/75 Yokohama Avid T4 tires. The trunk houses an uninflated spare wheel and tire, and braking is facilitated by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
Inside, the cabin sports bucket seats with black vinyl upholstery and custom-patterned red cloth inserts, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Interior features include a center console with armrest storage, a locking glove box, a passenger-side map pocket, and a heater.
Smiths instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles, believed to be original.
The 1.8-liter inline-four, factory-rated at 94 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque, sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The engine bay displays various professionally chromed components, and the carburetors were reportedly rebuilt under prior ownership.
The seller has diligently maintained the vehicle, performing regular maintenance, including recent and frequent fluid changes throughout the car.
