Description

West Coast Classics are proud to present a 1969 MGB Mark II 1800cc Convertible restored in a very striking 'Red Metallic' color paint with a 'Black' seats and black carpets interior, a new black soft top, 4 speed manual transmission and chrome wire wheels!

This is obviously one very rare and highly desirable example of this classic British sports car - a very nice example of the legendary chrome bumper Mark II MGB roadster! The trunk, floor boards, rocker panels and all the typically rust prone areas are solid and the chrome is all excellent, the bright stainless trim along the flanks doesn't allow for any sloppy panel alignment and the body is impressively straight all around.

The 'Red Metallic' color paint is in very good condition with only minor imperfections noticeable upon very close inspection. The interior is also very good and mostly original and still quite lovely 'Smiths' gauges to enhance its old world flavor. The soft top is also as new with a crystal clear rear window. The chrome wire wheels are also fairly new as are the chrome bumpers and grille.

The engine purrs quietly under the hood and the 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears. The temperature always remains cool and there are no noticeable oil leaks.

The simple uncluttered lines of the early MGB's were never improved by later revisions (the MGB line survived until 1980) and it is still these early chrome bumper models, which were a sturdy, straight forward sports car with features that will fascinate enthusiasts for decades to come, that are most sought after by MG enthusiasts and collectors. There was no denying the appeal of the MGB which in almost all respects; performance, comfort, space and convenience was a distinct improvement on its predecessor, the MGA and despite of little or no profits being returned to British Leyland, the model enjoyed record sales for the company.
