1972 MGB GT For Sale

MGB GT 1972 - £3, 600

For sale is my 1972 MGB GT. I’ve had a lot of fun with this car over the last 3 years but now it’s time to find a new home. Highlights include a 1950cc overbored engine, overdrive and a Webasto roof to let in the sunshine (but no water leaks). I’ve done a lot of mechanical work over the last 3 years but it is now in need of some body work restoration (more details below) which is beyond my skillset.
It’s MOT and tax exempt with its last MOT in July 2018. Indicated mileage is currently 73, 100 but this isn’t verified.

The Bad
Sadly the passenger side sill is rotten from the front wheel arch to the front of the passenger door. This includes the external sill, castle rail and membrane. It would definitely need a partial sill replacement and probably a full one.
In addition, there are a number of rust bubbles on the paintwork, the worst being on the bonnet and tailgate but also some bubbling around the wing seams.

The Good
I’ve used this car regularly over the summer months averaging ~1, 500miles a year. The car has a number of desirable after market mods
1950CC overbored engine
K&N filters
Electronic ignition
12V single battery conversion
Brake servo
Electric fan

In my time I’ve done the following mechanical work:
Replaced worn out coil overs back to stock setup with refurbished lever arm dampers
Replaced passenger side stub axle assembly with a refurbished unit
New tyres on all four corners
New coil, rotor cap and rotor arm
New passenger side track rod end and gaiter
New driver side rear brake cylinder
New flexible brake hoses
New engine bay flexible fuel lines and filter
New radiator hoses
New washer pump
Installed USB charging port and Bluetooth speaker (easily reversible if desired)

Car is located in Coombe Dingle, Bristol and viewing is available in the evenings and some weekends.
