Drakes' British Motors - Restorers of MGs, Triumphs, Austin Healeys and other British Marques


	Those of you that are familiar with MGB's know that the best option you can have on an MGB is an overdrive transmission. We were fortunate to come across a collector who had salvaged several of these over the years, and we are now proud to be able to offer them to our customers. We do have the correct overdrive transmission for your car in stock. The addition of an overdrive greatly improves the value of your car as well as making it possible for you to drive at highway speeds without your car revving at high rpm's. We do not know the history of these transmissions, so we are offering them in a used, unknown condition. MGB overdrive transmissions are very sturdy and long lasting units that are generally in operable condition for a long period of time. We also have some early units for the three main engines at a higher cost because of their rarity, and it is likely that they will require some work before being usable as the synchros were subject to wear and grinding gears were the result. If you want to improve the performance and value of your car, please get in touch with us.

	1973 MGB This MG has an interesting history. We brought this car back from Los Angelas California a dozen or so years ago – it was an original paint car that had never had any rust or accident damage. We did a full restoration of the car at the time with all new chrome, full interior kit and top, most mechanicals were rebuilt, and a bunch of other little things in the couse of the restoration - in short the car was a really good one. The people who bought the car from us were looking to downsize and we bought the car back from them. Along the way the car was loved and taken care of and has just recently received new Michelin tires, a stainless steel exhaust, and a fully rebuilt overdrive transmission. The car runs and looks great and is ready for the next caretaker of the car. Priced at $19,800 (stock #859)




	1974 MGB This is a US car that we are almost finished a complete comprehensive restoration on. We have done a complete bare body restoration on the car. The car had a very clean body and still retains its original floors and sills, and we fitted new British motor Heritage front fenders. We had the car painted a bright red, and because it was painted as a bare body shell all surfaces including the hidden ones are are painted. The engine is a full rebuild, as are the brakes, and suspension, the overdrive gearbox was in good condition so only needed new seals. All electrical switches are new as is the wiring harness. The bumpers, grill and all other chrome is all new, as are the Dayton chrome wire wheels and the splined wheel hubs. The interior is all fresh and new as well with new carpets, new seat kit and foams, new dash, new interior panels, a new Robbins top and a new Moto-lita copy steering wheel. There are many other parts and details that have gone in to the restoration of the car - it is a full complete restoration that looks and drives great. $24,400 (stock #770)


	1980 MGB Although it may look like it this is not you average MGB! The car is a very clean last year of production MGB with a great body. The paint is nice but does have a few minor chips due to age, and is fitted with the MGB MKIV body stripe kit and the MG limited edition front spoiler. The suspension and brakes have recently been gone through and it has been lowered 1” to chrome bumper specifications, being a 1980 it is fitted with large front and rear sway bars making the car an excellent car on the twisty roads. The interior is almost perfect, and shows very well. Most people would think this is just a very well preserved late model MGB, but the special part about the car comes in driving it. The car has been fitted with a fuel injected 3.4 litre V6 and a T5 overdrive 5 speed manual transmission from a late 1990’s Camaro. The car runs and drives great with more power than you could really need in a little car and with a five speed relaxed touring on the highway is a possibility. A very nice car priced at $9,600 (stock #849)
