1968 MGB GT – British Racing Green – Second Owner – Documented History & Fresh Engine Rebuild<br><br><br><br>1968 MGB GT finished in British Racing Green. 1.8L (110 cid) four-cylinder. <br><br><br><br>Current mileage: 16,410.<br><br><br><br>I am the second owner. The car comes with its original handbook showing the early service records, plus a detailed ownership history written by the first owner.<br><br><br><br>Ownership & Restoration History<br><br><br><br>The previous owner purchased the car and enjoyed it for years before two long storage periods. <br><br><br><br>In 1997 it received a thorough ground-up, engine-out restoration. Highlights from that work included:<br><br><br><br>• Engine balanced, ported & polished, and bored for slightly oversized pistons<br><br><br><br>• Full interior rebuild with Wilton carpet and Connolly-quality leather and piping to match the new British Racing Green paint (matched to the specific BRM team Racing Green)<br><br><br><br>• All nuts and bolts tumbled and re-plated<br><br><br><br>• Cotton wiring harness unwrapped, re-wired, and re-wrapped<br><br><br><br>The car was then enjoyed again before another long storage period beginning in 2003. It was lightly refreshed in 2013 (fluids, dual 6-volt batteries, belts and hoses) before coming to me.<br><br><br><br>Recent Engine Work (2021)<br><br><br><br>At 15,824 miles the engine was completely removed, disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt by Glenn’s MG Repair in St. Petersburg, Florida (Repair Order #12510). Work included:<br><br><br><br>• Full teardown, ball-hone of cylinders, block cleaning<br><br><br><br>• Machine work on the head and block<br><br><br><br>• New performance road camshaft, cam followers, gaskets, seals, pushrods, oil pump, water pump, clutch kit, and related components<br><br><br><br>• Mild cam specification as requested<br><br><br><br>• Complete reassembly, timing, and break-in<br><br><br><br>Total investment in the engine (parts + labor) was approximately $16,000. The car has covered only about 586 miles since the rebuild. Full invoice from Glenn’s is available.<br><br><br><br>Additional Recent Work<br><br><br><br>• New wire wheels <br><br><br><br>• New tires <br><br><br><br>Overall Condition<br><br><br><br>This is a well-documented, two-owner MGB GT with a solid older restoration and a fresh, professionally rebuilt engine. The paint and leather still present very well. It is a strong driver-quality example rather than a neglected project car.<br><br><br><br>Clean title. Serious inquiries welcome. Additional photos, the original handbook, the first owner’s written history, and the complete Glenn’s MG Repair invoice available upon request.<br><br><br><br><br><br>Car is located in Tamarac Fl, 33351 zip
