One of the most successful sports cars Britain has ever produced,
the MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with
unitary-construction bodyshell and larger 1.8-litre B-Series
engine. Introduced in 1962, the 'B' was a right-first-time design
that changed little over the years apart from a minor facelift for
1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers for 1975. Production of
the MGB ceased after the 1980 model year.
The classic MGB captures the essence of open-top motoring that has
been cherished by enthusiasts for decades. Finished in a stylish
Orange, this classic 1979 MG MGB is full of charm and character.
This classic retains its stock appearance, rolling on its original
14-inch MG aluminum wheels wrapped with Uniroyal radial 185/70R14
tires. These wheels are Triumph-style units used for the
Limited-Edition models in 1979 and 1980 and are highly desirable to
any MG enthusiast. The cockpit features comfortable black bucket
seats with headrests and matching black door panels. The black dash
panel holds a full complement of chrome-bezel Smiths gauges that
further enhance this MGB's old-world charm. The trunk area is newly
carpeted and comes with a full spare and jack.
