This 1973 MG MGB roadster received a cosmetic and mechanical refresh in 2017, which included a repaint in green. It is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive and is equipped with 14″ Minator wheels, front disc brakes, a green vinyl soft top, a tan top boot, chrome bumpers and trim, and a Lecarra steering wheel.
The 1.8-liter inline-four is fitted with a single Weber carburetor along with an aluminum radiator, a carburetor heat shield, and heat-wrapped exhaust headers. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with an electrically actuated overdrive unit.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory colors, equipment, engine number, and a January 16, 1973 build date.
Finished from the factory in Harvest Gold, the car was repainted in its current shade of green, and is fitted with a green vinyl soft top, a tan top boot, chrome bumpers and trim, dual side mirrors, and polished dual exhaust outlets.
Aftermarket 14″ Minator wheels are wrapped in 185/70 Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II tires. A spare 14″ Rostyle wheel is housed in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The bucket seats were reupholstered in tan vinyl and are accompanied by matching door panel inserts and carpets. Burl wood trim accents the cabin, and appointments include a heater, a locking glovebox, and a radio block-off plate.
The wood-rimmed Lecarra steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature.
The five-digit mechanical odometer was reset in 2017, and it now shows 1,400 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
