HIGHLIGHTS: Final run 1980 MG MGB Limited Edition! Driver-quality
car ready to hit the streets! BODY OVERVIEW: The body is remarkably
straight for a British auto of this vintage that has not seen a
restoration. Imperfections are present, as shown in the photos, but
this MG would be a great little driver and an even better start to
a high quality restoration. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The Limited
Edition MGBs of 1979 and 1980 were kind of the 'last hurrah' for
the MGB, and as such were all finished in the same distinctive
color combo of black paint with silver decals. This MG is wearing
what appears to be both its original black paint and silver decals.
The big plastic bumpers are a polarizing attribute among
enthusiasts, but they sure do look nice against the black paint!
All of that being said, it is worth bearing in mind that the paint
and bumpers on this car are now 42 years old, and have the flaws
that one would expect to come with age. While this MGB photographs
great, when you get up close defects such as fading and cracking
are visible in both the paint and on the bumpers. INTERIOR
CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior in this MG also appears to be all
original, and is aged in the same manner as the exterior.
Considering that this is an unrestored car, the interior is in good
original condition. The original Limited Edition plaque can be seen
installed on the dash. Aside from normal wear and age, notable
interior attributes include an older aftermarket stereo and
aftermarket speakers installed in the doors. Note that one speaker
is missing. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Don't let the aged exterior
appearance fool you-this MG runs like a champ! With the classic
1.8l 4-cylinder under the hood (the same engine found in MGBs for
almost 20 years!), this MG is the buzzy little sports car it has
always been intended to be. The engine runs great, the 4-speed
transmission shifts as it should, and this thing fires right up
every time! Just like the rest of the car, the engine bay is clean
and intact but showing some age. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
The unrestored condition, and how delightfully well it runs. WHAT
YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: These final year MGBs aren't for
everyone. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? That depends entirely on what you
want to do with it! As it sits, this car is ready to hit the road.
The horn, radio, reverse lights and turn signals are not currently
operational. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone looking for
an affordable, comfortable, cool-looking cruiser should take this
little MG into consideration. Whether you're looking for an
affordable driver, or something to take to the next level, this MG
could be a good choice! Contact Rare Rides Company at 980-306-8100
