Testimonials

"I feel I must write to you a letter that you may like to put to your customers. As you know I missed on a couple of your cars because of a car I was selling . However a lovely looking car came up on trade me .It was in North Auckland. I rang the older owner and found he had brought the car off a neighbour, I asked him about any rust problems . He said any rust that was there had been cut out and repaired properly. It had just been re upholstered and as the paintwork was original he had only the mudguards resprayed. It had new tyres and new wheel cylinders and brakes relined.As it had been in storage for 8yrs it had to be certified. But where he lived he said would pose a problem for getting it to the testing station. He said would I get it done from my end. He said everything had been done and it would fly through.I said I would and got it Transported to Palmerston North. When it arrived the first thing the transporter driver said was be carefull it has very poor brakes. Then takingit up a small rise to get it into my garage the clutch was slipping badly. The paint was far from original and the mudgaurds had been sprayed with an aerosol can . These are just a few problems with the car. I rang the seller up told him how disapointed I was and said if I transport it back to him will he refund my money. He said no. As all the dealings I had with him were on the phone and nothing in writing. My hands were tied. Not all Trade Me sellers are honest. Make sure you go to Waimak Classic Cars who I know deal in quality cars."

      Description

       

      The MGB is Britain's most popular classic car with good reason: it's widely available; has great parts and specialist support; and as long as you're not too demanding an owner, they are really good fun to drive.

      And let's be honest, that B-series engine sounds good when rasping through the exhaust system.

      ABOUT THIS CAR

      • Very tidy, honest example – goes great.
      • Basic and solid, everything works as it should.
      • The four-speed transmission is tough.
      • Manual / Overdrive.
      • Good tidy interior – all original.
      • Good solid engine, known and loved in the MG fraternity. It's strong, easy to work on and simple to tune.
      • Nice classic, with good club support.
      • Various servicing and maintenance records available.

      The MGB was an epochal car for MG. When launched in 1962, a up to-the-minute specification meant it was a delight to drive compared with its rivals, as well as being a significant step forward from the MGA.

      During its 18-year production run, it became the world's best-selling sports car and since it went out of production in 1980 (by which time, it was already a classic), an entire support industry has grown up around it.

      In 1980, the MGB came to an end - and its second life as the world's favourite classic car began in earnest.

      Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered.
