On offer in a totally dismantled state, this 1971 MGB Roadster was purchased by the vendor (recently deceased) in February 2011.
In the time of ownership he had totally dismantled the vehicle and completely renovated the bodyshell, replacing all body panels that needed repair. It has also had new floors, new sills and door skins. The door panel fit is excellent and the whole shell (including bonnet and boot lid) has been well painted in bright red.
He then moved onto the mechanical elements, the rear axle having been stripped and painted but not re-assembled whilst the front suspension is in the same condition. Boxes of components ready prepared for re-assembly are included.
For an enthusiast who is familiar with MGBs, this would be a straightforward project, starting with an extremely well prepared and restored bodyshell. It was the intention of the deceased that the proceeds from the sale of his two cars should go to Arthritis Research.
