The car still wears the original California "Black Plates".

The Heritage certificate confirms original colour was black, with red interior trim. The car has at some time been repainted in red, however inside the engine compartment and boot area remains original black.
The Heritage certificate also details several factory listed options including wire wheels, folding hood frame and heater which all remain intact.
Seats have at some time been re-trimmed in black cloth.

Structurally very sound and very original with no previous welding or body repairs evident, but the body will probably require some basic and typical rust repair around the wing bottoms.
Front foot-wells are sound and usable but not perfect.
-
Boot floor is very sound.
Rear bumper and rear number plate panel dented.
-
A unique opportunity to buy what is quite likely to be the very earliest MGB in the World ?
A very easy and straightforward restoration project.
