Description
Nice investments, a terrific color combo, and the joy of the open road all come together on this this 1979 MG MGB to deliver a terrific sports car experience.
This is the kind of color combo that will instantly catch your eye. The brown is a rich color that's enjoying a resurgence in popularity today. And because this is a professional respray, it has a terrific depth that looks great in the sunshine. That's exactly what you want on a sunshine-friendly droptop. This was believed to have been given a comprehensive restoration about ten years ago and only treated with care since then. You'll love the detail work like the front chin spoiler, rear luggage rack, and full-length trim that showcases the quality of the body panels. Plus, all European cars look terrific with genuine wire wheels. The gold MGB stripe running down the side adds even more distinction to this convertible. Plus, the black convertible top is a nice pairing with the black bumpers.
Of course, a car like this was meant to be open to the world. And with the roof down, the tan interior follows similar tones to the exterior colors for a very distinctive total package. Taut bucket seats, a center console, and plush carpeting make this a nice place to spend some time. This is a driver's machine with a setup that was built around you. The stick shift and steering wheel are exactly where you want your hands to be. It even comes with nice accessories like a Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette stereo and a tonneau cover.
Under the hood is a honest and correct presentation. This is believed to be the original motor and the odometer is suspected to reflect actual mileage. BMC's B-Series engine is a hardy powerplant, and the way this 1800cc unit fires up and runs reaffirms its quality care over the years. The four-speed manual transmission has a crisp action to take full control of the motor. Plus, nimble steering and power brakes w/discs up front create an unbeatable driving package.
Complete with the original warranty card, this is the classic convertible with distinct looks, and great quality. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call now!
