Vehicle Description
As one of the final years for the iconic MGB, this 1979 model
represents the end of an era for the beloved British roadster.
Dressed in a captivating shade of blue, this MGB Convertible is a
vintage gem ready to make every drive an adventure. The sleek lines
and classic proportions are accentuated by the chrome bumpers,
grille, and trim, a result of its meticulous restoration that
transformed it from a later black bumper model to an earlier
chrome-clad beauty, bringing it tantalizingly close to show-quality
perfection. Rolling on 14" wheels wrapped in 185/65R14 tires up
front and 185/60R14 in the rear, this MGB has a sporty and
confident stance.
Slip into the inviting brown vinyl bucket seats, and you'll be
greeted by a tastefully restored interior with custom touches that
elevate it to near-concourse level. The leather-wrapped door panels
and rear trim add a touch of refinement, while the center console
with its dual stereo head unit brings modern convenience to the
classic cockpit. The carpets, although showing minor signs of age,
are in great shape overall, and the black vinyl convertible top
provides a snug and stylish shelter from the elements when
needed.
Lift the hood, and you'll find a peppy 1.8-liter inline-four engine
enhanced with a Pierce intake and an exhaust header for improved
breathing. The alternator has been upgraded, and the wiring and
hoses, while showing some patina, are in good working order. Paired
with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, this MGB
delivers an engaging driving experience with responsive steering
and confident braking thanks to power disc brakes up front, making
it a joy to pilot on twisty roads or during spirited weekend
jaunts.
