  • MG-B

Purchased this car from the original owner's widow. Car was very well maintained in California and New Mexico with no rust anywhere. Since purchasing I have had the car repainted, original color, re-uphoulstered the entire interior in tan (was originally black) vinyl and installed a new tan Robbins cloth top. New stainless exhaust from Moss Motors, new bushings, overdrive transmission, new starter, all new trim and grille. The car runs great and does not seem to be leaking any oil or anything. It's not my everyday driver but it gets driven on short trips around northern New Mexico. All in all a great MG-B.
