The car presented has covered 5000 miles since leaving the restoration. It was sold new in Las Vegas in 1969. Following gearbox problems, the vehicle was stored at 51,000 miles. The 2nd and last owner bought the vehicle in 1990 with the intention of completely restoring it. It has never had any rust and has never been damaged, which made it a perfect base.

This car benefits from many options: Chrome wire wheels in 15 (conforming to the original), Overdrive, leather seats, Alpaca soft top, quality carpets and boot carpet kit, tools, tonneau cover…. The original color primerose yellow has been perfectly reproduced. The polished-gloss paint is of high quality. All the bodywork elements are original and perfectly aligned as it left the factory. The bonnet is in original aluminum without a gram of mastic. The 2 brake boosters are new. It runs remarkably well. The gearbox, overdrive and clutch are in perfect working order. The windscreen pillars are polished, all seals are new, the dashboard is new and the superb steering wheel is in wood and aluminium. The chromes are entirely original and in exceptional condition. The care taken in the engine compartment is truly remarkable, this six-cylinder engine provides the performance and smoothness that the MGB lacks.

A photo file relates all the stages of the restoration and the details attest to the rare quality of the car before the work.
