For Sale: 1979 MG MGB in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

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.

1.8-Liter Engine
4-Speed Manual Transmission
