MG MGB 1.8 Liter I4 1977
General description :
This 1977 MG MGB gives you that ideal nimble driving classic that also has the right upgrades. And best of all, it never loses the value price. The yellow has a bold look that's ideal for this generation MGB. After all, yellow and black are a timelessly attractive color combo, and so this one has an eye-catching style with the rubber bumpers. In fact, the black folding roof makes this almost look like a deliberate two-tone presentation. Nothing on this is too fancy so that you'll be nervous about taking it for a drive every chance you get. And no matter how you may try to present or improve this car, most enthusiasts will just gravitate to the sight of proper wire wheels with genuine knock-off hubs. The interior keeps the classic style while also given you the right upgrades. And since it's also done in all black, it has an attractive color coordination with the roof up or down. As a driver's car, there are thoughtful details, like bucket seats, a center console, and cup holders. There's even a Pioneer AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth to upgrade you to the most modern driving music. And as a proper classic British sports car, you're going to love the drive. Crisp gauges and a proper shifter are great factory features. Plus, this one has been upgraded with a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel and a roll bar that adds safety and rigidity. The engine bay has the look of solid investments along the way. After all, the 1.8-iter B-Series motor is a staple of British cars, and so the components are readily available. This one includes upgrades like a Weber carburetor, Cannon intake, electronic ignition, and an exhaust header system. It makes for a hardy motor with a little extra pep. And the four-speed manual transmission is your key to get the most out of this powerhouse. Add to this the nimble steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern tires, and you have an attractive driving package. The sale comes complete with build receipts and maintenance records. This is a well-priced MG that has already been upgraded in the best ways. Call today!!!
