Bought this car from a redneck bar tender. The floors were gone, the top was trashed and the interior looked like he'd run a chain saw through it. The clutch needed replacing so while the engine was out we decided to do a few other things. Two years later we had a brand new 1973 MGB. Every replacement part is NOS original except the bumpers. It has OD with a rebuilt engine. Runs really well. A splendid MGB. I love driving this car.

Rebuilt to as close to original as possible. Everything new or rebuilt.

I just wish you'd repainted it in the original Black Tulip, a wonderful and crazy color that evokes the mid 1970s era which defined this car's first life. But it's great that you saved another CB MGB!!

Kent, it will need a new paint job at some point, maybe it will be Black Tulip. If I could find the Ochre interior that would be even better.
