Ian,
My '71 had smog control on it.. key word being had.. I don't remember this one having it.., I should have looked before I stored it.
I am quite tickled pink over this car.. and more so when I find out what condition the shell is actually in. I am putting it on a rotisserie and having it vapour blasted. Folks puzzlement over the car is going to be interesting. Even the previous owner swears it is a '69
When I lived in Prince Edward Island, I had the only 'bgt on the road so it was rather unique.. and the 'bgt is still is a rare car in Canada. My best bud drove a '69 Charger RT with the 440 magnum so we truly were an odd sight to see when we caravanned together...
Sadly, on my heritage cert beside Destination (dealer) is
not recorded even though it was shipped out Feb 9th. Drats.. Nice to know it came with a 1/2 pint of touch up paint..
Out of curiosity, is there a service in the uk that will buy something for me and ship it when the seller refuses to ship to Canada ?
Thanks
Ian.

Hi Ian. Can you tell us what the Heritage Certificate says? It should give build date and spec., but I think it should also say where the car was destined for after leaving Abingdon.
You may be able to tell if the car was converted from RHD, but again I think this should be stated on the Certificate.
I'm not sure exactly when "Federalised" MGBs began to be less powerful and (in my view) less of a pure sports car, but it may be that you have a more desirable BGT than the one available in the USA in 1972? So perhaps something to be pleased about
