1960 MGA

We are currently nearing the completion of a comprehensive restoration on this California MGA. The car will be stunning when completed. Finished in a red exterior with a tan leather interior and chrome wire wheels. The car also has some nice options like factory disk brakes, stainless steel exhaust, Lucas 576 driving lamps, and a Moto-Lita steering wheel etc. (stock #279) 

1960 MGA

This is a stunning MGA that we just completed a frame off restoration on. This was a southern California car that had no rust ever. All aspects of the car were restored or replaced to better than new. Unfortunately we sold the vehicle before it went on to our website. This is getting to be more common as people hear about or see cars we are restoring and complete a purchase before completion. If you are looking for a certain type of car let us know and we can keep you in  the loop and let you know when we might have something that appeals to you. (stock #728) 

1967 MGB

If you are looking for a early MGB this is the one you want. This car underwent a full complete proper restoration about 12 years ago and has been garaged since and has been used sparingly – it still looks as good as when the restoration was completed. The body was completely redone with any damaged metal replaced with new correct British panels including new fenders, there is no evidence of any rust or any substandard body work. The paint is very nice quality British racing green and looks great. All the chrome and trim appear as new. The interior was all redone and the seats are correct black leather with white piping, the steering wheel is a new wooden Moto-Lita copy, and the top and tonneau cover are like new. The wire wheels were replaced when the restoration was done, and new tires have just been fitted and the front suspension re-bushed. The transmission has been updated with a 4 synchro overdrive so highway driving at speed is effortless. The engine was rebuilt previously, and it runs great. We have had this car go through the shop to make sure everything is up to snuff and it is ready to go. If you want one of the best early MGB’s we have come across this is the car you would want. Priced at $21,800 (stock #843) 

1970 MGB

This is a car that we brought back from California a dozen years ago and had previously come from Arizona. A 1970 MGB is unique year for the MGB being the only year that had the split rear bumper. This is a car we will be doing if it isn’t sold as a project first. The body on the car is really nice and straight minus a few little bumps. The floors have been replaced and there is no rust on the car apart from the tiniest little hole in the trunk and a bit of surface rust on the rockers. The hood is workable, but it is probably simpler to just put a new on it. The car came to us with a blown up engine in pieces, but we have loosely installed a fully rebuilt engine that was rebuilt and broken in on a test stand 25 years ago. We did test run the engine and it is what it is supposed to be. The chrome and brightwork is alright and could be used, but new chrome or a re-chrome job always makes sense on a restoration. The interior and top will obviously need of replacement. The car is a standard 4 speed transmission, but we might be able to include a overdrive transmission for additional expense if desired. This is a really nice straightforward MGB to restore, that would be a fairly high dollar MG when the restoration is completed. A nice project Car. $6,200 (stock #597) 

1971 MGB

We have had this car in storage for over 10 years after bringing it back from Montana. This is another car we probably aren’t going to have time to restore anytime soon so up for sale it goes. I don’t think there is any rust repair to be done apart from one small hole under the drivers seat, but I can see that the dogleg panels have been replaced in the past. The last paint job was poorly done with peeling and a clear coat that didn't stick, so it should be stripped to bare metal. There are various bumps and dings to be taken care of as well as some surface rust in places, but the body should be a fairly straightforward part of the restoration. The chrome and brightwork is alright and could be used, but new chrome or a re-chrome job always makes sense on a restoration. The interior is in need of replacement, and the car also comes with a hardtop. The engine runs, but is weak so count on freshening it up or doing a full rebuild depending on your budget. The car is a standard 4 speed transmission, but we might be able to include a overdrive transmission for additional expense if desired. If you have never restored a MGB they are a simple straightforward car to do as long as you start with one that the body isn’t a rusted mess. A good project for $4,300 (stock #607) 

1971 MGB

This is another project that we have had in storage for many years and are probably not going to get to it. We brought the car back from Washington state many years ago. The body is pretty straight and will require minimal work, and the rust is minimal. The floors are good, but the passenger side castle rail should probably be replaced or patched, and the dogleg sections of the body will also need replacement. The hood will need some work or a new replacement hood could be fitted for reasonable money. We have had the engine running out of the float bowls, and it runs very well. The car is a standard 4 speed transmission, but we might be able to include a overdrive transmission for additional expense if desired. The interior will need a full redo. The car is basically complete and will make someone a pretty straightforward restoration project. Priced at $4,400 (stock #578) 

1973 MGB – BRG

If you would like an exceptional MGB this is the one. This car received a complete top to bottom professional restoration and has had only 2400 miles since completion. All mechanicals were rebuilt and the engine received a mild performance built that results in a powerful yet still docile car. The car was originally a 4 speed , but we have just fitted a 4 speed with overdrive transmission, so relaxed high speed driving is now an option. New chrome wire wheels, and hubs were fitted during the restoration, and we just fitted a new tan sunfast canvas top to the car. Everything in the interior was replaced when the restoration was done, and the factory Ochre color interior (light tan) looks great paired with the dark British Racing Green paint. The paint and body are exceptional on this car, and any panels that weren't perfect were replaced during the course of the restoration and the body is as good or better than when it was new. There isn't anything not to like on this car it looks great, and is definitely one of the nicest MGB's that i have driven. $21,400 (stock #838) 

1974 MGB

This is a US car that we are almost finished a complete comprehensive restoration on. We have done a complete bare body restoration on the car. The car had a very clean body and still retains its original floors and sills, and we fitted new British motor Heritage front fenders. We had the car painted a bright red, and because it was painted as a bare body shell all surfaces including the hidden ones are are painted. The engine is a full rebuild, as are the brakes, and suspension, the overdrive gearbox was in good condition so only needed new seals. All electrical switches are new as is the wiring harness. The bumpers, grill and all other chrome is all new, as are the Dayton chrome wire wheels and the splined wheel hubs. The interior is all fresh and new as well with new carpets, new seat kit and foams, new dash, new interior panels, a new Robbins top and a new Moto-lita copy steering wheel. There are many other parts and details that have gone in to the restoration of the car - it is a full complete restoration that looks and drives great. $24,400 (stock #770) 

1980 MGB

Although it may look like it this is not you average MGB! The car is a very clean last year of production MGB with a great body. The paint is nice but does have a few minor chips due to age, and is fitted with the MGB MKIV body stripe kit and the MG limited edition front spoiler. The suspension and brakes have recently been gone through and it has been lowered 1” to chrome bumper specifications, being a 1980 it is fitted with large front and rear sway bars making the car an excellent car on the twisty roads. The interior is almost perfect, and shows very well. Most people would think this is just a very well preserved late model MGB, but the special part about the car comes in driving it. The car has been fitted with a fuel injected 3.4 litre V6 and a T5 overdrive 5 speed manual transmission from a late 1990’s Camaro. The car runs and drives great with more power than you could really need in a little car and with a five speed relaxed touring on the highway is a possibility. A very nice car priced at $9,600 (stock #849)
