Wanted: MGB GT
Someone I work with is looking for a GT. Any year considered, but should be a reliable driver. No major projects.

Re: Wanted: MGB GT
How about a '67?
All very nice, except for the paint which is about a 20-footer.
And, yes, the tape indicating where the roof should be cut has been removed.

In baseball, running into someone is apparently a "collision".
But doing the same thing in a car somehow makes it an "accident".

Re: Wanted: MGB GT
FWIW ;
The steering racks are shimmed and adjustable , easily at home .
I did this to my '67 , cleaned out a lot of old oil and dirt , slapped on new boots and the rack felt as new again .
This looks like a nice tidy little car .
Factory red (so it appears) is a plus .
