1966 MG MGB, Burgandy with Black Interior

1966 MG MGB Roadster Description

1966 MG MGB Roadster. Condition is Used. I had purchased this car from a small dealer in Florida for a friend but when I got it back here I found several problems I had to fix - the worst of its problems which was defective wiring. Digging into it I found several shorts behind the dash. In the process of rewiring I found the car had been converted to neg ground, the engine replaced with the transmission. The engine in it now isfrom a 1972 vehicle and so it now has an electronicneg. ground tach and the w spd trans has a sychro low but no overdrive. The overdrive switch hole to the left of the steering wheel has been enlarged and a voltmeter now keeps an eye on the electrical system which is now a single wire typealternator which seems to work fine. In addition to the re-wiring, the rear brakes were replaced, the parking brake cable was replaced, all brake flex lines (front & rear)were replaced, the carbs were rebuilt, and thetransmission mountings was renewed. It now seems like a good serviceable car, starts right up & runs strong. Two only two residual item in need of attentionare the tach and the fuel gauge.

Can't go back ...even for typos - ah well live & learn. The point being it now has a 5 main bear ing engine and a trans with a sychro first which improves drivability. I plan to post a link to a driving video on YouTube tomorrow Jan2.
