This 1965 MGB roadster was modified and refurbished in green over black leather upholstery under previous ownership, and it was acquired by the current owner in 2021. Revisions consist of a cross-flow cylinder head, an aftermarket intake manifold, 15″ wire wheels, cross-drilled front brake rotors, lowering springs, a front anti-sway bar, rear track bars, PerTronix electronic ignition, flared front and rear fenders, a roll bar, and aftermarket speakers. The 1.8-liter inline-four is linked to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and additional equipment includes a black fabric soft top, a left door mirror, and a heater. This MGB is now offered on dealer consignment with knock-off hammers, a magnetic cowl vent cover, a fire extinguisher, and a clean Delaware title.

The front and rear fenders were flared before the car was repainted in the current shade of green. An aftermarket front spoiler has been fitted along with polished rocker panel trim, and the paintwork is complemented by a replacement fabric soft top, a driver’s door mirror, and chrome-plated bumpers with overriders. Blemishes are visible on the front spoiler.

The chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels feature knock-off hubs and are mounted with 195/60 Bridgestone Potenza RE71 tires. A spare wheel and tire are located in the trunk. The suspension has been modified with lowering springs, an aftermarket front anti-sway bar, and rear track bars, while the braking system has been revised with cross-drilled front rotors and braided stainless-steel hoses.

The cabin houses bucket seats upholstered in replacement black leather with white piping that extends to the door panels. Interior appointments include a passenger-side map pocket, a heater, a roll bar, seat headrests, three-point seatbelts, MG-branded rubber floor mats, and aftermarket speakers mounted behind the rear seats.

A banjo-spoke steering wheel wears a leather cover, and it fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 14k miles, approximately 450 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 1.8-liter inline-four is equipped with twin SU carburetors, and it has been modified with an aluminum cross-flow cylinder head, an alloy valve cover, an aftermarket intake manifold, and a tubular exhaust header. Additional revisions include K&N air filters, braided stainless-steel oil cooler lines, a remote oil filter, PerTronix electronic ignition, and retrofitted air horns.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with a Laycock overdrive unit.

An Oregon assigned identification number is affixed on the reproduction data plate above, and it lists a VIN of ORGHN3L29626, which matches the VIN on the current Delaware title.
