He was a member of the MG Club of St. Louis, had his vehicle registered with the North American MG Registry (#2-1162), and an American MG Association member. Recently, this car had the entire transmission rebuilt professionally with all new synchros, new 8" clutch kit with carbon face bearing & clutch slave cylinder, brand new radiator, new canvass soft top, and fresh tune up. Upgrades include complete rust proofing when restored in 1989, electric fuel pump, braided stainless steel oil cooler lines, carpeted trunk and spare tire cover with MG logo, and AM/FM cassette radio with front and rear speakers! The engine was treated to a complete rebuild approximately 30,000 miles ago with the block being decked and bored, all new pistons and rings, resurfaced head, complete valve job, new exhaust seats, cam bearing, pushrods, rod bearings, main bearings, new camshaft, timing chain, and new starter. The entire transmission was rebuilt just 8,000 miles ago with and new 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear synchros. A fresh 8"clutch assembly with carbon face bearing were replaced at that same time. The carburetor, manifold, and exhaust gaskets are new as well as the engine mounts. This is a wonderful car priced aggressively for the next MGB enthusiast to enjoy!
