Good morning all. Here is a driving video for you all to take a look at. I'll be posting a walk-around in the next day or so. Don't hesitate to ask any questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6-3yCEmug4

@thepatman47 – Thank you, I will give my local DMV a call tomorrow. If I were to win, is the car drivable from CA to AR? Is it air conditioned? No biggie, just wondering! Love the car, love the color. Bet the twin pipes sound great. ...
Hi Pat, hopefully you were able to get the answers you needed from your DMV office. The MGB does not have AC. It is a great little car. Looks great, sounds great and is so fun to drive. Weather is supposed to clear up here this weekend so I hope to have a drive video by Sunday night. Stay tuned.... The car is drivable from CA to AR. You should know that CA requires dealers to collect sales tax if out of state buyers drive their purchased vehicle on CA roads. The only way to avoid this is to have the vehicle shipped via a licensed auto carrier across state lines, then no tax is due. The state does not play around with this, especially with the increase of CA residents registering vehicles out of state to avoid taxes. https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/pub101/
@CLASSICCARSLTD – Hi Pat, thanks for the question. The answer to your question depends on how specific your DMV is with things like smog, modifications, etc. I would ask people in your area and ultimately your department of motor vehicles since they would have the final say. Hope that helps. ...

@thepatman47 – Hello, I’m in Arkansas, in order to register the car, would I have to show all the modification paperwork along with the title? Many thanks, Pat ...

Welcome to the 77MGB V8 auction! This is a special little MG. Lots of fun and it flies under the radar until you want it to make some noise. Feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to reply in short order. I will be adding more content as the week goes on (we're supposed to get a break in the weather over the weekend). Add it to your Watchlist to be notified when videos or photos are posted. Classic Cars Ltd. is a small 30+ year dealership located in Pleasanton, CA (30 min N of San Jose; 40 min E of San Francisco). We welcome appointments for viewing or for onsite PPI's prior to the final day of the auction. Good luck bidding!
