Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this clean 1980 MG MGB. Between the Vermillion fenders is a 1.8l 4-cylinder rated at a peppy 95hp. Shifting gears is up to the driver, thanks to the 4-speed manual transmission. The MG has been lovingly cared for during its life, and it is strongly evident when looking over the car. The body was repainted and still shines as though it were wet.
As far as the mechanicals, it has recently had a new gas tank, fuel pump, front and rear brakes, tires, front and rear suspension, and radiator replaced. The carbs have also been recently replaced, and it makes for a very smooth ride. A pacesetter exhaust carries the exhaust out the rear for a sporty tone. Inside the MG is just as clean as the outside. The black vinyl interior shows great and has held up well over the years.
With such a well kept MG, its sure to not last long! Options include: AM/FM Radio, Manual Convertible Top, Spare Tire & Jack, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Kill Switch, and Radial Tires.
