For Sale: 1978 MG MGB in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

This 1978 MG MGB roars to life in Pull Me Over Red, a color as bold as the car's British heritage. The iconic roadster sports a Sebring bumper delete kit, enhancing its sleek profile and paying homage to its racing pedigree. Wire wheels, measuring 15 inches, wrap around 185/65R15 tires, perfectly blending classic style and modern performance. The chrome grille and tail lights evoke the timeless design of 1960s MGBs, while the canvas convertible top in tan offers open-air thrills at a moment's notice.

Inside, the cockpit is a driver's dream, trimmed in honey tan vinyl. Moss Motors seat covers adorn the bucket seats, offering comfort and period-correct style. A new dash pad, carpet, and door handles elevate the interior's fit and finish. The floor-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission sits ready for action, while the functioning dash clock keeps you on schedule for your next adventure. An AM/FM radio with an 8-track player provides the soundtrack, transporting you back to the MGB's heyday.

Under the bonnet, the 1.8-liter inline-four engine breathes through a Weber carburetor, delivering spirited performance. The powerplant pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission, offering direct control over the rear-wheel drive setup. Upgrades include an electronic distributor, a new coil, and long tube headers. The suspension features drop springs up front and lowering blocks in the rear, giving this MGB an aggressive stance. Power front disc brakes provide confident stopping power, while manual steering offers an unfiltered road feel. A single exhaust system rounds out the mechanical package, producing a satisfying British sports car soundtrack.
