Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this 1976 MG MGB. The peppy 1800CC engine under the hood runs like a top, and the 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly. While a normal MGB is rated by the factory around 62 horsepower, this little gem has been spiffed up thanks to a performance intake manifold, performance exhaust manifold, and a full exhaust system to help this powerplant breathe easier. A noticeable difference can be felt when you wind this out through the RPM range.
The vehicle recently had quite a bit of work done, including all the aforementioned engine work, as well as a complete repaint from green to the Burgundy that you see here. The interior has been well kept and looks well taken care of. Options include Manual Convertible Top and Seat Belts. For more information on this beautiful 1976 MG MGB please contact our Chicago showroom at (708) 444-4488 or Chicago@GatewayClassicCars.com.
