A kind word of warning which you may know anyway, but it could save months of nightmares. IF the engine ever starts to smoke a lot, change the PCV valve with a good quality replacement. It could save you re-building the engine and finding it still smokes. Learnt from 44 years in the motor trade. The first time I came accross this problem was 1983.
I think this can be summarised as a ... Result! What a bloody nice thing it is. All original and just needs a bit of TLC. Well done Sir! AND a Mini in the garage as well ..... 👍👍
Thank you. Yes was a decent buy! If you watch my other video it shows the rest of the garage ! There will be a bew video coming soon of the mini and anglia progress
Someone's spent a lot of money, new carbs , rad etc. Not a bad runabout no road tax too pay, no mot and cheap classic insurance .Might be a keeper with some seat covers.
Had a few GT's and supposedly better cars since.... TVR's Benz SL's etc but the MG's have something special. Will definitely get another one day, best cars !
Do you plan to tackle the rust on the Door & have you been able to check the under body for what's that word " Rust " 😢😢😢😢 ps hate the colour on the seat , maybe change it to Tartan ??
What a beaut 👍 reminds me of my trusty Black Pig. 1979 MGBGT.

So funny how everyone used to hate the striped seats, but now they look super when in good order.

You have to love that interior, 70's brown and orange 😍
Its very 70s !
Don't laugh at the colour of those seats. They're practically the colour scheme of my teenage bedroom in the seventies.
The seats are awesome 👌
I live in the States, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a black MGB gt. It looks very...
Class. Well done on that purchase!

Nice 👍. I prefer the GT to the roadster. Styled by the great Pininfarina 🙂
i like the wind in hair roadster for me

Do you plan to tackle the rust on the Door &
have you been able to
check the under body
for what's that word
" Rust " 😢😢😢😢
ps hate the colour
on the seat , maybe
change it to Tartan ??
It’s a keeper at least for now how much was she ?
Nice
If it was mine itll be screaming at me for a st170 lump on carbs
Is that Sean Harris out of Harry Brown? It's his double though isn't it?
I thought 1977 had one carb??
Im unsure i will look into this
They all had two. SU's I think USA spec cars had a single Stromberg. But not 100% sure about USA specs.
US spec were all single Stromberg from 75, but UK market stayed with 2 SU’s
