Kom in daylight – after 12 years in the barn.
One can say a lot about British cars. The quality has not always been the most prominent – to say the least.
But things do Englishmen on. Namely beautiful and classic sports cars, based on long and venerable tradition.
An example of this is the MG, or Morris Garages – that acronym stands for. It was basically a Morris dealer in Oxford which began producing versions of precisely Morris cars, with a separate and more sporty design. When often in the form of an open two-seater, but with standard components under the new uttered.

Known for delectable sports cars
Since ballet is wearing and MG became an accomplished producer of small, gorgeous sports cars. Love that her owners – and with an air of both sports and the good old days.
prices have long been on the rise, but there are also opportunities to acquire affordable copies. That is, if you have LOTS determination.
One example is the car in these photos. A 1967 model MGB Roadster – maybe the most classic of them all.

urgent need for care
shall certainly not denying that the car in a large care after having been stored in a barn since 2002, but still …
Seller claims that the car was in good condition when it was parked, but 12 years on a not too good barn puts its mark. Rust enough to be described as MGB’s worst enemy are, but fortunately not in very large quantities.
It’s not going to come in from the interior also requires some work. The steering wheel is mildly interesting in its present form. Photo: eBay
canopy to the roof is damaged, the engine does not run, the interior has also been hard hit.

Not only misery
On the plus side, we note the classic green color that often characterizes British sports cars from the period, at least as classic spoked wheels not to mention that these cars you can buy everything. When we mean absolutely everything – and most at reasonable prices. So all is not only misery.
engine is a 1.8-liter and as classic as the rest of the car with his two SU carburetors. The effect is just under 100 horsepower, which was pretty much in such a small and light car in 1967. The transmission of this is a four-speed manual with unsynchronized first gear.

From the images taken in the engine room, it looks like any hobby electrician has unfolded properly. What rock nest of cord tangle should imagine we have no idea, but it looks like someone has tried to build the ignition system to electronic. This person should definitely taken a correspondence course in cabling first.
Fortunately, the cars a very simple and uncomplicated wiring, so to get this to work again should not be a big deal.
And we hope the new owner gets removed those ugly rubber pads that have been mounted on the bumper. Ref. the top photo.
Surely a result of U.S. demands for crash safety. MGB was then also in the 70′s new art fiber front and higher suspension, just to meet these requirements and lost much of the charm then.
But a true classic MGB looks like the picture below. It’s sort of the way they should be and there are those cars that are most in demand.

proposed by Mazda
If we are not mistaken as MGB was produced in which over half a million copies and only Mazda MX-5 has turned MGB in the number of bikes. Although very many of MG-one of the longest are the happy hunting grounds, there is some very rare car we are talking about.
But in return there is a very cozy car. Imagine simmer quietly along a dirt road with dandelions in roadside a hot summer day, with a picnic basket in the trunk and his wife in the passenger seat of such classic MG. Life can be used in worse ways.

Inflation
There are far tougher sports cars, but not so many that are more classic than a green MG with own wheels. Illustrative image.
Not long ago you got a decent MGB to 70000-80000 dollars, but in recent years, prices have risen here, as in so much else. Fine cars now costs often around 150 000.
to get that copy back to its former glory, it has enough invested both many thousands of tags and a lot of time. But then you get in return a true classic of a roadster
You can get a nice English, charming family-convertible 30 000
