Summary:
Used 1967 MG MGB
Location:
Morgantown, PA
Description:
1967 MG MGB Roadster MG's, (Morris Garages), were some of the earliest foreign sportscars to find an audience in America. By the late 50's, cars likethe MG TD's and TF's were popular enough that they began showing upregularly on racetracks while shops specific to their care beganpopping up around the country. One of the oldest sports car clubsin the country, the Old York Road Sports Car Club, est. 1953, notfar from us in Morgantown, can trace its roots, in part, to thenewfound love of MG's that was sweeping the region and country. For consignment, a stunning 1967 MG MGB. The MGB would beintroduced in 1962, following the run of MGA's from 1955 to 1962.Our car went through a complete restoration in 1990 and it comeswith not only its build sheet, but also a photo album of therestoration as well as a plethora of receipts. Thanks to someloving stewardship, it has held up very nicely over the years. It'smade appearances at some well-regarded car shows in easternPennsylvania and sports a surprising interior option, but you'llhave to read on to learn more! ExteriorThe straight body is bathed in white and topped by a black vinylsoft top. Desirable chrome bumpers match the headlight rings andgrille. Other bright spots include the polished window frame whichhelps to tell up thisis an early car due to only having 2 wiperarms, the pillar-mounted side mirror, and the body trim whichintersects the length of the little car, giving the body some depthand character. 14-inch chrome wire wheels with knock-offs arequintessentially British and look great, (the patent for wirewheels was issued in London in 1826!). The roadster's top is inexcellent condition as are the three plastic windows embedded init. InteriorA simple black leather door card houses the controllers, the windowcrank, door actuator, and pull handle are tastefully dressed inblack with polished trim. A line of white piping intersects thedoor as well. The black leather seats, with tuck-and-roll inserts,are accentuated by white piping around the edge and forming ageometric pattern throughout. And the surprising interior option, arear seat pad constructed of the same, white-piped black leather.Now your two-seat sports car can accommodate at least one more withthe top down! It also makes for a nice storage shelf. Thethree-spoke steering wheel is highlighted by the bright red MG logocenter cap and the spoke configuration allows you clear views ofthe important stuff like the chrome-rimmed tachometer andspeedometer, both large and easy to read. An overdrive switch isfar left, followed by a gas gauge. To the right of the main clusteris a temperature gauge, ignition slot, and various toggle switches.Vent controls look a bit like oven knobs and have a great tactilefeel that will prove useful on the road. The wonderfully contouredglove box follows the lines of the dipping dash pad. The rarelyseen Ammco center console has padded armrest where you can restyour elbow as you grab the comfortable, compact shifter housed inan oval polished metal surround. The low-pile black carpet is infine condition and the trunk is lined in gray material, includingthe spare tire. DrivetrainAn 1800cc inline four cylinder presents wonderfully in the enginebay with burgundy painted block and valve covers. Two SU HS4carburetors regulate the fuel through piston-controlled venturis.The 4-speed manual transmission has Laylock-de-Normanvilleoverdrive which is engaged with that toggle on the dash. The 98horses are sent to the rear wheels and 3.909 gears. Disc brakes infront and drums in the rear. UndercarriageThe solid construction results in a flat bottom on most of the carand creates a tidy underside. We note no surface rust indicatingthis car has enjoyed a fair-weathered existence. Independentsuspension with coil springs buffer the front while leaf springs inthe rear cushion the other end. A header leads to a single exhaustthat feeds through a stainless-steel muffler and exists below thedriver's side bumperette. We note a few drops of oil on the oil panand some residual oil at the rear differential. Drive-AbilityDespite temps in the high-40's, we braved the loop with the topdown. The 1800 provides plenty of zip for this car and the shortshifter is butter smooth. We maintained the 30 mph around somegentle turns, and it became obvious why these were popular importsand remain one of the most beloved sports cars in history, fun funfun. Move over, Miata, the OG is here! Indeed, it is one of the world's great sports cars and it's nowonder why there's a large and active network of enthusiasts aroundthe country that talk, ride, maintain, and show these wonderfullittle cars. You can buy any number of modern roadsters, andthere's certainly merit in that. But there's nothing quite like anearly British sports car to get the blood going and this one is afine example. Tuck this one in your garage and pray for a sunnyweekend.
