1970 MG MGB GT Coupe

Vehicle Description

Runs and drives nice! Subsequent work included replacing the camshaft, pistons, and both main rod bearings of the 1.8-liter inline-four. A replacement four-speed manual transmission with overdrive is equipped, and the clutch was replaced in 2018. Additional equipment includes 15″ Panasport wheels, a leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel, door-mounted mirrors, black vinyl upholstery, and an aftermarket head unit and door speakers. Service in 2023 involved replacing a freeze plug, adjusting the valves, and replacing radiator hoses.

The car left the factory finished in Glacier White and is said to have been refinished. The hood and the area between the windshield and hood were refinished in 2022, and the chrome fresh-air grille was replaced at that time. Door-mounted mirrors and chrome-finished bumpers are equipped. The front badge bar has mounts for driving lights.

The 1.8-liter inline-four is equipped with twin SU carburetors that were rebuilt in 2018 as well as a finned-alloy rocker cover. The engine was overhauled in 2018 by British Motor Care in Portland, Oregon, and the seller reports that it was modified with a ported cylinder head, replacement pistons, roller rockers, a wrapped tubular exhaust header, a thermostatically controlled electric fan, and an oil cooler. An engine-out service was performed in 2023, and work involved adjusting the valves, re-torquing the head, repairing the radiator, and replacing the freeze plug, fan belt, rocker cover gasket, and upper and lower radiator hoses. The oil was changed in May 2023, and the battery was replaced.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that is equipped with a Laycock LH overdrive unit and was installed in 2009, according to the seller. The O-rings for the overdrive solenoid were replaced in September 2023, the differential pinion flange seal was replaced in August 2023, and the clutch was replaced in 2018.
