@MGA1975- firstly, thanks for the comment and bids. As of an hour ago I significantly reduced the Reserve Price. We aren’t there yet, but close.
Great Car! Are you able to share if we are close to reserve price?
Good morning fellow Mg enthusiasts. Thank you for a great auction week. Hopefully this fine example finds a new home today. A few items sets this one apart. Split bumper, Rare MG C hood, Factory Electronic Overdrive, LED headlights, Moss Motors Chrome Wire Wheels, annd Excellent gaps with No rust. I’ll be checking in periodically to answer all questions. Best of luck to all those interested.

Good morning. Thanks again for the continued comments/questions, and bids. @Oldsalt- I’m 5.10. The car will definitely accommodate a driver comfortably at 6.3. Your head would not go over the windscreen as the seats sit low and can be adjusted to go back another 5 inches.
In your video how tall are you? I'm asking because I'm over 6 ft and I don't want my head sticking above the windshield for safety issues. Live the ride.
Good afternoon. Thank you for the continued bids. I’ve had the car for about a year. As a Collector for 30 plus years.. if I see a car that’s Special, I always try to buy. The addiction requires me to sell some of them. I hope this one finds a new home and enjoys it as I have.
Beautiful car. How long have you owned it?

@FLJaws- sorry for my misprint. It does not overheat- ever With 120 plus degrees in the phoenix heat, it stays steady and runs strong.
Um, you just cut and pasted the Jan. 13 narrative. About 2/3 of the way down your text you state: “It’s been fitted with an aluminium radiator, and does overheat even in extreme temperatures.“ So, does the MG overheat at extreme temps, or not? And is that just engine temp (prolonged high speed driving and/or stop and go traffic)? Or do you mean in high ambient (air) temps like AZ, or inland CA, or most of FL? Your words, not mine. Please clarify for us.
@Dwayne3618 – Good morning fellow MG B enthusiasts. Firstly, thank you for the initial bids. This B sets itself apart from most with some nice features. As many of you can see- the hood is from a MG C. Fits very well and in my opinion improves the aesthetic of the car. Factory Electronic overdrive allows comfortably driving at 80 plus all day on the freeway. Moss Motors chrome wheels not only look great- but no usual vibration at higher speeds. Also has halogen running lights. Since it’s a California/Arizona car it does not have rust. It’s been fitted with an aluminium radiator, and does overheat even in extreme temperatures. It has a high quality respray and gaps are excellent. All of the gauges work as they should and the seats show as new. The car starts up quickly with a little choke. Fortunately, the synchros are in excellent shape in every gear. I’d like to thank my 11 year old son for taking the videos. 🙏🏻 Best of luck to all interested in this Split bumper beauty. ...
