Vehicle Description
This 1980 MG MGB has lived a remarkable single-owner life for 44
years until 2024 - a rare feat for any British sports car. The
Russett Brown bodywork follows the classic British roadster
profile, with its sleek, low-slung stance setting off the pure MG
design. The proper factory 14-inch wire wheels provide that
quintessential British sports car look, rolling on 185/70R14
General tires. A taut black vinyl convertible top shields the cabin
when needed, while the tonneau cover adds that authentic touch of
British racing tradition.
The beige vinyl interior creates an authentic British sports car
atmosphere. New carpeting lines the floor, protected by matching
mats, while the bucket seats feature fresh foam in the driver's
position for proper support during spirited motoring. An RCA AM/FM
radio and door speakers supply the soundtrack, while the
floor-mounted shifter and center console layout put all controls
within reach - exactly as MG intended.
A 1.8 Liter inline-four sits mounted longitudinally, paired with a
4-speed manual gearbox featuring electric overdrive for
long-distance touring. The Weber carburetor and intake conversion
enhance the engine's output, while dual electric fans maintain
optimal operating temperature. Front disc brakes provide strong
stopping power. The suspension employs coil springs and a sway bar
up front, complemented by a straight axle and leaf springs in the
rear.
