I wanted to keep it original in the beginning of the restoration, but it is not possible. Serial number was missing on the engine
It was blocked and when I opened it I was surprised by the diameter of the bore.
It was larger than all the oversizes, it was one MGB engine!
I could only find 1600cc MGA engine on exchange basis, so I kept the MGB engine.
At this time I realized that the number 1800 on the block was the CC on the engine, it should have been 1600.
So I changed mind, if there is no original motor, I could go for non orignal color?
I saw one yellow with grey interior that I liked very much, but it is again MGB color.
