Nice MGB.
I own a fully restored 1968 MGB.

I own a 69 mk2 same dash as that original

Never had a sports car, never had a British car, never had an MGB-but sorry Mazda Miata-this what you're supposed to be.

Nice!, I have a '64 MGB, slightly modified though (custom chassis/suspension, SBC (400hp), 4-speed), a fun little car (they make excellent hot rods)

67 was the last year of the original 2 wing knock off.. 68 was the first year of the octagon.
The aluminum valve cover is available from many sources at around $115 as of August 2022.
The radiator support brackets should be black.
The oil cooler should not be painted, especially black. Black retains heat defeating the purpose of the oil cooler.
The metal fuel filler tube is rusty, nice touch for a "spectacular" car.
Black paint under trunk lid, never. This usually indicates a repaint or a replacement.
Hood hinges black, never. Stock is car color.
Black paint under hood, never. Is the hood/bonnet aluminum or steel. Aluminum is stock steel aftermarket.
Color of the car appears to be Guards Red and not an MGB color.
Carpeted trunk is not original. Usually not used because they get wrinkled and disheveled as is this one.. a nuisance.
Radiator fan should be yellow.
License plate is blocking the airflow to the radiator. There is an OEM license plate bracket.

The car has some very positive attributes which could have made this a much more appealing automobile.

The presentation was very good minus some incorrect "facts"; excellent first try.

Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.
