GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this sweet little MGB Roadster for the public market. This car has always been enthusiast owned, cared for and is fresh out of a long time private collection. According to the original window sticker on hand, The car entered the US via the Port of Los Angeles and was sold new by Wallace Import Inc. of Phoenix AZ and resided in Mesa, Arizona for much of its life. The car is powered by... its original numbers matching 1.8 liter inline four cylinder motor fed by MG's signature stock twin SU Carbs, 4 synchromesh gearbox, and rear wheel drive. Other factory features included: Center console with arm rest, padded sun visors, lockable glove box, oil cooler, anti-roll bar, radial ply tires, front disc brakes, speedometer with trip counter, tachometer, fuel, oil and water temp gauges, interior courtesy and map light, cigar lighter, windshield washer, alternator, AM/FM etc. With the exception of a repaint at one time and some interior work, this MGB remains quite original and retains and outstanding core structure. It is important to note, that this car has never been taken apart and put back together like most cars of this era. It has always remained intact and has never been neglected from a service aspect. The exterior paint is lovely in all areas and the original trim is complete including the roof rack, the soft top appears to have been replaced and is excellent, the interior features newer seat material and a near perfect dash. Mechanically, this chromed bumper B roadster is spot on; a very spirited car that loves to be driven. The four-speed gearbox puts your reflexes in touch with the 1798 cc engine, an engine that has been deemed as economical as it is lively. The rack and pinion steering, the race-seasoned suspension and the front disc brakes combine to give you precise, sure-footed handling and stopping. The kind of response that turns driving pressure into driving pleasure. Before MG, there was not much of a sports car scene in America. MG changed that with when it first introduced the TC to the American market. By the mid 70's, the MGB had earned the SCCA National Champion in E production for the third year in a row. One can see how these cars remain popular in today's culture. A true classic open air sports car that remains relatively affordable. This 1974 MGB is an extremely honest example with an impressive owner and service history. Records that go back to day one and remain consistent through today. If you are in the market for a quality, fully sorted chrome bumper MGB, the 1974 MGB offered here will not disappoint. Documentation includes: Original Window Sticker, Original Owners Hand Book, Original Passport to Service Book, and Full Service History including a few sessions with legendary MG mechanic, Jon Twist of University Motors.
