1967 MG MBG BT Mk1 w/Rare BMC Air Con & Overdrive, Rare Ephemera & Other Items

1967 MGB GT Mk1 with Very Rare BMC Air Con and Overdrive
Offered is a lovely early MGB GT, Mk 1, with proper Mk 1 overdrive gear box in excellent working order. Aluminum hood, air con..
Features dealer installed BMC air con, which is in working order when charged. A charge holds for about two months and uses R12 refrigerant. All components appear to be original to the build date.
The 1798cc engine does not have the original block, but all original components were installed on a newer block in the 80s. The engine is hugely reliable, starts immediately and holds good oil pressure. There are no overheating issues. This example has a stainless steel exhaust system and the fuel tank is relatively new. With a bit of choke, this car fires up quickly and settles into a idle easily.
This example remains negative ground - all components are original to a (-) ground system.
The brake pads/shoes and wheel cylinders were replaced less than 3k miles ago. A new water pump was installed within the last year. The emergency brake cable is rather new, but has seized from lack of use. Tires are new within a few years, with little wear. Two of the wire wheels were blasted and powder coated; it is suggested that the other three receive the same treatment. Original jack and tools in proper tool bag.
The body will require some attention to make this a fine example. Please refer to the photos for details.
The interior is in good order. Although reupholstered some time back, the door cards, door rails and interior panels are original. The headliner and carpeting, replaced some time ago, are in good condition. All gauges are working with the exception of the tachometer. The unit was recently rebuilt by Nisongers, but is not working-perhaps it was not installed improperly. The original AM radio and speaker function as they should.
This example drives quite well. There is no wandering, nor pulling. The suspension is good; sway bar bushings may need replacement. Steering is tight, although rack and pinion boots do need replacement.
This example was used regularly for short commutes and was extremely dependable. Some documentation back to the mid 80s. Odometer indicated 48K miles, although this cannot be verified.
Sale will include much ephemera, some of which is featured in photos - including original AM radio manual, original AirCon manual and other rare items. Also included are misc. MG-related items: magazine, manuals and other bits.
Seller is releasing this vehicle with regret due to compromised health. All inquires will receive prompt replies.
Thank you for your interest.
