This 1969 MGB GT was originally purchased by the seller from the original owner in 1989. He sold it four years later, and coincidently bought it back in 2012. It wears factory-correct British Racing Green paint and has recently received a comprehensive restoration with a rebuilt engine, new suspension and fresh paint. Stripped to its bare shell, the car is now said to be completely solid following replacement floor panels and rockers. The engine was rebuilt with extensive work including new pistons, valves, and bearings, and a later model gearbox with overdrive was installed for improved drivability. The seller says it makes good power and is a blast to drive with less than 1,000 miles added since completion. The car is said to be ready to drive anywhere.

Restoration work was done to a high standard, and the result is straight, well-aligned panels with tight gaps and uniform paint finish, the seller noting that car has never been wrecked and retains its original aluminum hood. All glass was pulled during respray, and both windshield and side glass have since been replaced—all weatherstripping and other rubber body seals are new as well. The seller says floor panels were replaced due to worn seat mount holes rather than rust.

The interior was also redone with a new dash, headliner, center console and leather upholstery on the front seats. The tachometer has been rebuilt, and all other gauges work as designed. All switchgear and lighting is fully functional, and several restoration process photos show the car before, during and after.

Here’s a shot the seller snapped during his initial 1989-1993 tenure with the car. Still wearing its factory-sprayed BRG, post-restoration the car looks much the same but with fresh paint and re-chromed or polished brightwork as well as the benefit of fully refurbished mechanicals underneath.

The engine is believed to be original, the seller noting that serial numbers are in the correct range with no engine swaps reported from previous owners. Recent engine work included professional fitment of new pistons, cam, valve lifters, oil pump as well as replacement of all bearings. Both head and block have been resurface for good gasket fit, and the head itself runs all new valves, seats, guides and more designed for lead-free fuel use. This photo shows the engine mid-rebuild.

Other restoration work included fitment of a new radiator, water pump, all hoses, a seven-blade plastic cooling fan and Moss radiator shroud, the seller noting that the car runs cool even in heavy summer traffic. A later model gearbox offers overdrive in both third and fourth gears, and both the box itself as well as the overdrive unit have been rebuilt. A new clutch clamps a resurfaced flywheel.

Handling is tight thanks to new suspension consisting of new shocks, rebuilt axles, and all new rubber and springs. Brakes were also addressed with new calipers, rotors, turned drums and curponickel lines. Additionally, tires, tubes, wire wheels, hubs and wheel cylinders are new. Electrics are all fresh from the harness to the rebuilt alternator, starter and distributor—all switches and relays have been replaced as well. Sale includes a large collection of receipts and invoices detailing restoration work, and the car is said to be sorted and ready to enjoy with no needs.
