Beautifully maintained Mark I “B” with a very desirable color combination! Restored by MG specialist in California and in excellent condition mechanically! Rebuilt engine with auxiliary engine oil cooler and upgraded dual circuit power brakes! Gorgeous, rust free car throughout!
The MGB is arguably considered the most successful sports car ever produced out of England. If you have had the chance to enjoy one from behind the wheel, it's easy to see why! The balance of power and handling is inspiring for both beginner and seasoned drivers alike! Once the wind is in your hair and the distinct MG exhaust note is humming in your ear, the MG offers an experience that is easy to get addicted to!
This beautiful 1966 MGB roadster is finished in British Racing Green over Black vinyl upholstery with matching Black convertible soft top! Powered by a high compression 1798cc 5-bearing engine fitted with twin SU HS4 carburetion producing a factory rated 95 horsepower and impressive 110 lb. ft. of torque. It's mated to the 4-speed manual transmission and sporty 3.91 rear gearing. Features include 14” painted wire spoke wheels wrapped in Vredstein 165HR14 radial tires, full tonneau/boot cover, wood steering wheel & MG shift knob, dual outside mirrors, manual windshield washer, Smiths gauges & heater, upgraded RetroSound AM/FM Bluetooth radio, and lap belts!
This solid MGB was located by the former owners with an MG service specialist in the Santa Ana, CA area where it was restored both mechanically and cosmetically in approximately 2010. The battery system has been converted to a single, negative ground 12-volt set-up along with an alternator charging system. And the factory disc brakes were upfitted with a vacuum power booster and dual circuit master cylinder, while an auxiliary engine oil cooler and 6-blade fan help keep things cool under the hood. It would sell to new owners in October 2017 in Elizabethtown, PA where it would remain until the summer of 2021 when it traveled to a prominent collector here in St. Louis. It continues to drive terrifically with approximately 3,000 miles on the rebuilt drivetrain! A brand new convertible top was just installed in March 2022.
These late Mark I examples are extremely sought after, and the attractive chrome-bumpered 1966 model has been considered one of the most desired. They feature push-button door handles, retain the original style steel dash with toggle switches, have larger 12-gallon fuel tanks, and utilize an electronic tachometer. This example will be sold with an owner's manual and radio instructions. Please call with any questions or to arrange a personal inspection! Thanks for looking!
