Late Steel: ’67 MGB

Category: Submitted Tags: 1 Comment

67 MGB

If you look at this MGB and you know something about these wonderful roadsters you know it should still have a steel dash. Well it does. When it was purchased new by a US Military serviceman, it was registered in Germany as a ’68. It has a few minor details that are different from a US spec MGB like different color tail light lenses and a steering wheel lock. The owner actually campaigned the B in a rally in 1968 and that is pretty neat. When the car arrived in the states it was registered as a ’67. Read More

Early bird: ’63 MGB

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

63 MGB fr

We found this early MGB and thought it had some pretty good curb appeal. Being an early car, allegedly one of the first 2200 MGBs, it has all of the classic good looks and details like the steel dash and pull handles prized by collectors. The interior looks really nice and has great patina. the mileage is claimed to be 24,000 and the seller believes it may be original. Read More

Lots of fun: ’67 MGB

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

MGB

Our friend and frequent contributor, Michael M., has a B that looks a lot like this one. He owns a few other classics and the B is actually one that he really enjoys driving. His is more original than this featured B and he has a factory hard top, but he raves about how tight the B is and how much fun it is to drive. Today’s car is a sympathetically restored car with real leather interior done in what looks to be the correct pattern. Read More

Winter’s Tale: ’64 MGB

64 MGB pro

Technically, you could say that this MGB is a one owner car in original condition. The current owner did buy it from the original owner and in 2004 and never drove it. So yes, he is the 2nd owner but we might look the other way – like an annulment. Yes, it needs everything and some of our readers have been asking us for more barn finds and project cars. So this one should be very straight forward. Read More

Really early B: ’63 MGB

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1963 MGB
We have featured a number of cars offered by California Classix and this one is a pretty tantalizing example. It is a very early production MGB, probably among the first to hit the US shores. It was built-in September 1962 and represents the purist example of what the MGB engineers envisioned. To give you a frame of reference, the B gained about 800 pounds in weight by the time production ended. Read More

Hollywood Hot Rod: ’63 MGB V8 Conversion

Category: Submitted Tags: , 2 Comments

1963 MGB V8 Conversion

Back in the 1960s, there was this west coast craze to stuff American V8s into British Sports Cars.  Don’t know where they got the idea (sarcasm) but they did. I guess you could go back to Donald Healey and Sydney Allard for the divine inspiration but Southern California was the home of the hot rod. Putting a big V8 in a little car was sort of normal. There were good shops and less than good shops. Hollywood Sports Cars was one of the good ones. The legendary Doane Spencer worked there as an engine builder. Read More

Ground Up: ’69 MGB GT

Category: Submitted Tags: , 1 Comment

MGB GT

We really like the look of these small GTs. People say it is a poor person’s Jaguar and we quite agree. Not the poor person part but an alternative to the Jaguar for more budget conscious aficionados. The design is truly classic with great proportions. And you can’t deny the flexibility the Coupe brings to those who really like to travel long distances in their classic car. This car has been totally restored with a great photo album to document every step. And whoever buys this one, gets a new car for not a lot of money. Read More

2-Owners: ’65 MGB

65 MGB

There are quite a few MGBs available at any given time. Because of that, we tend to look for nice original cars with few owners and some history. Why wouldn’t you? This B has had only 2 owners and covered few miles. Read More

Well done: ’71 MGB Event-ready

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , , Leave a Comment

1971 MGB Race car

We can be really brief with this one. The seller’s eBay listing does a fine job of describing the immaculate preparation effort lavished on this solid, good-looking MGB. It is said to be event ready and it looks like it. If you are new to TSD rallies or any track events, you might look too good for skill level. But that’s okay for us. The modifications are well thought out and the quality of the parts seem to us to be top-notch. We love the plexiglass headlight covers and the safety hood latches. Read More

Steel Dash GT: ’67 MGB GT

Category: Submitted Tags: , 2 Comments

67 MGB GT

If you are frequent readers of Mint, you may know that we really like sports cars with roofs. To us, they seem more complete. It’s like the designer is given the opportunity to complete the thought. This ’67 MGB-GT is a good example of what we mean. Whether it be a roadster or a GT, the early steel-dash cars are the cars purists are drawn to. Of course, we agree as it gives the B a perfectly period look.

Reduced Price: ’73 MGB

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

MGB

This is a really well cared for ’73 Roadster with a grille from an earlier model. So the car, especially wearing steelies, has an earlier, period look to it. We posted this car early last week along with the seller’s Yellow Mini. The Mini is off to a new home and the B needs to go soon. The seller has dropped the price to $11,000 for a totally sorted, get in and drive Roadster. It is in Connecticut near the Massachusetts border. What are you waiting for? Contact Mint directly for the seller’s contact information – michael@mint2me.com

Prim & proper: ’70 MGB GT

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , Leave a Comment

MGB GT

In ’65 the MGB received a more robust five-main-bearing version of the B-Series engine and was joined by the stylish MGB GT coupe designed by Pininfarina. Never a top seller, the GT filled a niche for those of us who like roofs over our head and require a bit more carrying capacity. Mechanically, the MGB was little changed in 1970, the model year of this submission, retaining its 1,798cc pushrod engine, four-speed all-synchro transmission and all the familiar running gear.

B Plus: ’62 MGB Roadster

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1962 MGB

We never owned an MGB. Our friend, Mike M. has one in his eclectic collection and he just enjoys the heck out of it. And that is why the MGB is a great car. An enthusiast can really enjoy it with abandon and the novice can learn the virtues of a traditional sports car without getting too hurt. The B is a stout car with a monocoque structure unlike its peer over at Triumph that had a body-on-frame construction. Most people in the know believe the B is a better handling car with a more forgiving ride than the Triumph.  We agree.MGB Interior Read More
