** BOTH EXQUISITE AND STUNNING !! ** 1971 MGB GT 3-DR HATCH ** SUPER CLEAN !! **

1971 MGB GT 3-DR HATCH

BOUGHT BY ITS CURRENT OWNER ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO FROM AN ENTHUSIAST WHO JUST COMPLETED A FRESH RESTORATION. THE CURRENT OWNER IS SELLING TO MOVE ONTO ANOTHER PROJECT. THE CURRENT OWNER WAS MESMERIZED BY THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL OF PICS AND DOCUMENTATION OF THE RESTORATION…. SADLY, AT SOME POINT AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE LAST OWNER LOST THE DOCUMENTATION…. NEVERTHELESS, THE CAR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF- BOTH AESTHETICALLY AND MECHANICALLY !! CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.

PAINT AND BODY ARE EXCEPTIONAL !! CAR IS PAINTED IN A NEAR FLAWLESS BMW BLUE ( OUTSIDE OF A COUPLE OF MINOR CHIPS / SCRATCHES ). BODY IS LAZER STRAIGHT WITH EXCELLENT BODY GAPS, OPENING / CLOSING OF THE DOORS, HATCH AND BONNET ( HOOD / BONNET FRONT LATCH COULD USE SOME LUBRICATION / ADJUSTMENT TO CLOSE PROPERLY ). IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF ORIGINAL CHROME / TRIM WAS RE-USED, ALTHOUGH, IT DOES SHOW WELL, THERE IS SOME MINOR PITTING / AGE UPON CLOSE INSPECTION. EXCELLENT GLASS. SOME OF THE WEATHERSTRIPPING DOES SHOW AGE. SUPER SOLID FLOORS, TRUNK PAN AND FIREWALL.

THE INTERIOR IS JUST AS IMPRESSIVE ! NO SIGNS OF ABUSE, NEGLECT OR EVER BEING SMOKED IN. EXCELLENT DASH PAD, DOOR PANELS, SEAT COVERS, CARPET AND HEADLINER. WORKING GAUGES, LIGHTS, HORN, WIPERS AND SIGNALS.

*BELIEVED TO BE* ORIGNAL DRIVETRAIN. MOTOR STARTS RIGHT UP AND SETTLES TO SMOOTH IDLE WITH NO SMOKING. IT’S EVIDENT THAT THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT AND TUNED VERY WELL. 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGAGES EASILY WITH SMOOTH, POSITIVE SHFTS. EXCELLENT CLUTCH / CLUTCH TAKE UP. NEWER TIRES ALONG WITH SOLID, POSITIVE BRAKING.

FROM THE MOMENT YOU CLIMB INTO THE CABIN, YOU WILL ADMIRE HOW NICE THIS GT REALLY IS FROM THE SOLID CLOSE OF THE DOOR…. WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT A FUSS…. THEN YOU REALLY GET THE FEELING WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS ENGAGED AND YOU ENGAGE 1ST GEAR, RELEASE THE HANDBRAKE AND START THE DRIVE….. IT’S THAT NICE OF A DRIVE !! NO SQUEAKS, RATTLES OR UNUSUAL NOISES- EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ! THE SHIFTER IS MAGIC AS YOU ROW THROUGH THE GEARS….. SMOOTH POWER THROUGH ENGINE…. AS YOU ARE AMAZED AT HOW STRAIGHT THE CAR TRACKS AND THEN HOW NICE THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS WHEN COMING TO A STOP…. IF YOU EVER WANTED TO ADD ANOTHER NICE CAR TO YOUR COLLECTION, OR START ONE….. YOU FOUND YOUR NEXT RIDE !!
