For Sale: 1981 MG MGB in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

Rarely in our collective search for that perfect automobile do we come across one that is in near Concours-level shape without having gone through a full restoration first. But this 1981 MG MGB Mark IV is special. Very special. Produced in September of 1980, this Brooklands Green MG was purchased new as a 1981 model by its original owner and then put into storage for nearly four decades. With its original paint, panels, and decals still in nigh-perfect condition, this Mark IV shows just 214 km on the odometer, which is believed to be actual considering its time-capsule-like history.

Under the hood, we find a numbers-matching 1.8-liter inline-four cylinder engine topped with its original Zenith carb that makes the same 95 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque it did nearly forty years ago, thanks to its savvy, original owner, who changed its oil just before storing it. That power is then routed through its original four-speed manual transmission, which had its fluid changed at 164 km. Riding on its original independent front and leaf spring rear suspension, this Mark IV sits on 14-inch Rostyle wheels wrapped in 165R-14 Pirelli Cinturato rubber, ready to give you a ride back in time whenever you'd like.

There is no point listing every original component on this car, because it is all original. If you have ever wanted to own a 1981 MG MGB Mark IV, there is no better car than this one if you'd like to feel the feeling of driving it in its original condition.

This car belongs in either a museum or in the type of collection that will appreciate the incredibly rare nature of having a vehicle that is this authentic. Forty-plus-year-old cars with less than 215 km on them don't come along very often, so don't wait. Call today!
