Vehicle Description
Our Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1975 MG MGB for sale. This
MGB has a new top in the box ready for installation and less than
1K rebuild on the engine. The car was painted about 5-6 years
about. For many years, enthusiasts of the MGB made the claim that
this was the best-selling sports car ever made. With a total of
more than 513,000 cars assembled at Abingdon from 1962 through
1980, and more than 300,000 roadsters exported to the U.S., until
very recently they had the numbers on their side. A production run
of 18 years and more than a half-million cars speaks volumes about
the quality of the MGB. And for the new enthusiast, these numbers
mean there are a lot of cars for sale and a lot of spare parts with
which to keep them running for many years. What accounted for the
long run and great reception, when so many other sports cars came
and went during the same period? Beyond the cost and ease of
purchasing, restoring and upgrading it, there are two very good
reasons for the past and present popularity of the MGB. First, it
is fun to drive. Second, it is easy to take care of. Only a few
cars on the road provide the visceral pleasure of driving an MGB.
Take it out on a country road, wind it up through the gears with
the positive gear change, then do a heel-and-toe downshift into a
tight corner and power out again on the straight. Let the wind whip
through your hair, and listen to the song of the four-cylinder
engine. No classic car at this price can offer anywhere near the
same experience, and only a few modern sports cars come close. From
almost the beginning of the marque, MG's slogan was "Safety Fast,"
and generations of enthusiasts can attest that it delivered on that
promise. But the experience isn't limited to driving. For anyone
who wants a brief escape from software problems, computer systems
that have minds of their own, and user manuals that require a
degree in electronics to understand, the MGB opens the door to a
fast-disappearing world of basic electrical and see-how-it-works
mechanical systems. With a basic set of tools, an electrical test
gauge and some rudimentary mechanical ability, any job from a basic
tune-up or an oil change to a complete engine rebuild can be
undertaken in the garage as a weekend alternative to video games
and surfing the Net. Options include. Convertible top, and radial
tires. To view the car in greater detail, including 100+ HD photos
