1980 '79/80 MGB GT(Chrome conversion)chrome wires etc.. SOLD

A lovely example of a late-model GT (more practical for everyday use!)It has the benefit of a Webasto-type full sunroof & overdrive that confidently kicks in & out when instructed; albeit with some 'zzzz' coming from the gearlever when switched on...
She probably has a grand's worth of chrome wire-wheels (4. 5J) with hubs & proper 'eared' spinners (the spare is also a wire one but painted/ coated silver... The chrome conversion includes the lovely, original-type MGB grille. There is also a nice alloy rocker cover fitted.
Carpets & trim are quite good - the engine & driveability is a delight (I've owned 3 roadsters & this is the 2nd GT so have got something to make comparisons with!) The gearchange is very tight & positive, to boot...
The MOT does not expire until 26th April 2018
The only downside is that the car needs a respray - at the moment she's sporting two-tone green paintwork but the bodywork is nice & solid & in current condition could be cheerfully used as a daily runabout or a second car for shopping etc.
Good examples of the GT seem to be appreciating nicely & this one, in my humble opinion, would be a prudent buy!
By the way I have been running her exclusively on Shell V-Power...(Receipts to prove!)

EDIT: I should point out that both doors & the hatch lock - as does the fuel filler cap. I've just done a night-time round trip of 60miles in continuous rain & both the car &, importantly, the wipers didn't miss a beat!

FURTHER EDIT (28th October 2017): Believe it or not, I still have this lovely MGB.....& yes, it is still for sale BUT dear readers, the best news from your point of view is that I have reduced the price... BY A THOUSAND POUNDS!!! Yes, a straight 25% Autumn sale reduction so that this lovely car does not winter outside. The new price of £, 2, 995 is non-negotiable with no part exchange! It is still being driven regularly & I am still surprised at the zest of this car every time I drive it......& that is from getting out of a 3litre Scimitar!! 

Price slashed by a thousand pounds!!!!
