At the current bid of US$ 5,000.00, there's has got to be some value here
1968 MG MGB GT

I think this auction commentary just about sums it up...

Obvious attempt to “blend” color on fenders, door and driver’s rear panel , is a major problem on this car. Coupled w the admitted gearbox problem etc; it’s not the best example. Having totally restored two MGB GTs myself; I can totally agree w “austinhealer” as to the costs and need for: high build epoxy, hand sanding, guide coat (usually at least twice) then prep for paint; a labor intensive process. I used a two stage paint process and Deltron Clear ( at $ 550.00 per gallon w/o reducer, etc !). As a wise friend once remarked: “it takes as much time, money and energy to paint a $ 10 K car as a $ 80 K E -Type !” On the other had; why not just drive this as is ? They are a blast to drive ! Drove mine last at one of the Breakfast Club’s Rallys; stayed in third gear thru all the twisties; drove home in 4th Overdrive averaging 32 mi per gallon ! What better vintage bang for the buck could you ask for ? Cosmetic perfection is overrated; mechanical superiority is more important.
