| This is the brief story of how I found my B. I had been looking for an MGB for about a year, when I stumbled onto this car online. This B was about 2 hours away, but for the last year I had been driving all over the state.� What I found was a car that had sat in a garage for the last four or five years.� The previous owner had only driven the car about 300 miles since her original purchase of the MGB.� Unfortunately, the car did not run because somene had fried the original pump and wiring.� I went out on a limb and trusted the previous owner, purchasing the car in September 2001. |

| The previous owner did not lie, once I replaced the wiring and the fuel pump, the car fired right up and ran very well.� It had been repainted at some point, the car was originally orange.� I need to do some touchups and eventually get metal fenders, luckily I have all winter.� I assume that the top was also replaced at some point, but am not sure.� According to the title there are less than 43,000 miles on the car, but for some reason there is supposed to be a mileage discrepency.� It is safe to say that the mileage is probably correct based on the overall condition of the car.� Everything seems to be original mechanically with exception to the tires, brakes, and miscellaneous ignition items.�� | |||||||||||||||||||
