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. It did
have a significant service check in 2022 to ensure it is still
roadworthy, and it is. 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!
