***Vehicle Located in MA*** Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1980 MG
MGB Limited Edition Roadster - 35K Original Miles - California Car
- Black with Caramel Interior - 4 Speed Transmission with
Overdrive. A true British sports car icon, this 1980 MG MGB
Roadster is a very nice driver quality all-original California car
showing just over 35,000 original miles and finished in its
factory-correct black exterior over a caramel vinyl bucket seat
interior. As one of the final production-year MGBs and a desirable
Limited Edition example, this car represents the end of one of the
most successful and beloved sports car production runs in
automotive history.Produced from 1962 through 1980, the MGB became
one of the best-selling sports cars of all time, with over 500,000
units built. The 1980 model marked the final year of production,
making these late cars especially collectible among enthusiasts who
appreciate the final evolution of the classic Abingdon-built
roadster. Power comes from MG's proven 1.8-liter (1798cc) inline
4-cylinder engine featuring the factory single Zenith-Stromberg
carburetor setup, designed to meet U.S. emissions standards while
maintaining the dependable drivability and spirited character the
MGB is known for. Factory output was approximately 62 horsepower
with strong low-end torque, paired to the highly desirable 4-speed
manual transmission with factory overdrive, making highway cruising
significantly more enjoyable and relaxed than standard gearbox
cars. This Limited Edition Roadster retains its original character
throughout and presents very well with excellent body lines, solid
structure, and a clean undercarriage showing only the typical light
surface rust expected and shown on honest original examples. The
black paint is in very good condition with some imperfections and
spider cracking as shown . The car is equipped with the classic
chrome luggage rack and factory wheels, giving the car outstanding
vintage roadster presence.Interior condition is also in good
condition, featuring clean caramel vinyl bucket seats, factory dash
layout, aftermarket AM/FM radio for added enjoyment, MG floor mats,
and a clean trunk complete with spare tire and jack. A new matching
black manual convertible top has recently been installed, and the
car also includes the matching boot cover, tonneau cover, and car
cover-everything needed for top-down touring or protected
storage.The car has been used sparingly and starts, runs, and
drives as expected for a well-preserved collector example. As part
of normal routine servicing for a classic British sports car, we
recommend a standard tune-up including carburetor adjustment and
timing calibration to optimize smoothness and drivability.
Currently stored in Massachusetts and offered with a clean
Massachusetts title in the owner's name, this final-year MGB is an
excellent opportunity to own a low-mileage, highly original,
desirable overdrive-equipped example of one of Britain's most
iconic sports cars. Affordable, collectible, and endlessly
enjoyable, this 1980 MGB Limited Edition Roadster is ready for
weekend drives, local shows, and open-road enjoyment. Call Jeff to
arrange a viewing. Thanks for Looking.
