MG MGB 1800 CC 1975
General description :
Description
This 1975 MGB is a wonderful foray into a time when sports cars were pure, and the driving experience wasn't measured on a clock, but instead by the size of the grin on your face.
The MGB is one of those cars that everyone loves to see because they know it's built for pure pleasure. The compact proportions are ideally suited for carrying two passengers, and there's no extra fat to steal performance. And the body has sleek lines that make every drive feel like you're on an adventure. The yellow paint is quite vibrant, and the black bumpers and roof make for a nice contrast for an almost two-tone look. The finish is not perfect, but you likely don't want it that way. It keeps this a car that's ready for a drive at a moment's notice. After all, the best back roads have loose stones, and not all of us want to worry about every pebble on the pavement. So this one really represents a fun roadster that begs you to take the long way everywhere you go.
This is not the kind of cushy interior that comes from a turnpike cruiser, but if you've read this far, you already knew that. Instead, from the moment you sit in the nice black bucket seat, it feels like the entire inside envelops you like a second skin. The space between the three-spoke wheel and the stick shift is exceptionally close for comfortable and quick performance. The driver gets a full set of Smiths gauges with a large speedometer, large tachometer, and dials for other vitals such as oil, fuel, and water. Plus, you have all the right features, including a working heater, classic AM/FM radio, and a tonneau.
Power comes from a sprightly 1798cc four-cylinder motor. You'll enjoy how this one fires up with ease, and in fact, the consignor loves to talk about winding mountain road trips in this car. So it has been known to be a strong and reliable runner, and there's even a nice maintenance file. The four-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the motor. And those who know these cars understand that you and the gearbox are intertwined as a key part to the driving fun. Plus, you have modern tires on the classic Rostyle wheels, power brakes, front discs, and the MGB's famous nimble handling. It all comes together to give you a car that's all about the driving experience.
The sale even some with all the right paperwork, including the original bill of sale, owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance records. This is the iconic affordable roadster that has that has the exact setup for those who love to drive. So if the open road is calling, answer it with this MG. Call now!
