Comes with full conversion documentation, original MGB manual, lots of extra battery connectors, fuses, and other conversion parts/products. Has cracked rear passenger vinyl window (less than $300 to replace on eBay currently). Body is in amazing shape. Paint is in great shape too. Just one minor (smaller than a dime) chip in paint on passenger front panel.
I have clear title in hand.She runs well but is due for some upgrades.
Could also be an excellent candidate for a motor swap.
