1969 MG MGB Description

As life goes, need to offer 1969 MGB roadster for sale: VIN # GHN4U/169299G. This car is turnkey and ready to go. No work needed to drive. Please read the entire description and ask any questions before bidding. Send a message thru EBay or call me at 404-513-5635.

The MG has had an extensive refurbishment and is in great driver quality condition and has the desirable and correct black label overdrive gearbox. The engine number is 18GH-RWE-H-5814 (‘R’ in engine number indicates it came from factory with overdrive). The MG drives and runs great (see compression and oil pressure numbers below). I have receipts for the engine, lutch and gearbox being rebuilt in 2007. I don’t think the previous owner drove the car very much, nd I haven’t either.

The MG drives and handles as it should, ounds, reat. It has had a complete repaint, ew chocolate brown interior with leather seats. The convertible top is in great shape. Good tires, ood brakes. Everything works as it should. The dash has been replaced with a 1975 year dash. It's a straight bolt in affair and the 1969 gauges fit the 1975 dash. The big advantage is you have a glovebox (which the 1969 pillow dash did not have). I used the dash vent area to mount one of the stereo speakers; the other is in the passenger footwell. Spare has new tire, nstrument gauges have improved lighting (see photo link below). This MG has an aluminum bonnet.

Keep in car this car is 47 years old and is not perfect.

Compression: # 1- 105, 2 – 115, 3 – 105, 4 – 115. Oil pressure at idle with engine warmed up is 55 PSI.

The final 3 photos are from refurbishment time. More of those are available on the link below.

Body: Car was originally British racing green, ut had been repainted yellow then red. Entire body chemically stripped to bare metal and painted single stage urethane Old English white as a bare shell. I replaced both front fenders with 1969 originals, hich had previously been repaired with lower 12” panels. I also replaced both outer rocker covers and doglegs. Since floors were still in fairly decent shape, welded (and bonded) new floors over originals, estoring seat front mounting points.

While the following items were not refurbished, hey are generally in presentable condition and can easily enough be replaced: Bumpers (appear to be originals not reproductions). Radiator grill (has a few tiny dings). Door and fender mirrors. Wire wheel knock offs.
