This MG MGB got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1968 MG MGB GT is finished in pale yellow over a reupholstered black interior and powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car was recently acquired by the seller, who subsequently fitted with a new clutch slave cylinder and parking brake cable. This B GT is offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in pale yellow and shows evidence of having been repainted sometime in the past according to the seller. An accident in the rear is said to have caused the bumper overrider to contact the body, and a dent in the area shows cracking in the paint and filler beneath.

Painted 60-spoke wire wheels are mounted with 14″ BFGoodrich tires, which should be replaced due to sidewall cracking. The rear hatch needs adjustment according to the seller.
