For Sale: 1975 MG MGB in Columbus, Ohio

Vehicle Description

$14,995

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this low-mileage 1975 MGB for your consideration. If you're looking for a fun vintage drop-top coupe to cruise around in that doesn't break the bank, then check out this sporty little MGB! This British two-seater comes to us dressed in slick white paint that is in good driver condition with very minimal imperfections. Up front you'll find clear round headlamps with bright bezels and a black polyurethane bumper in very good condition. Moving around the side of the car, bright body side molding, dual side mirrors, door handles, and a chrome cowl vent pop against the white paint. The windshield is fronted by a trio of wipers with black arms. The black convertible top is in excellent condition with clear plastic windows in the rear. This MG sits atop a set of 14" 8-spoke grey factory wheels all wrapped in Classic radial tires. Around back are another black bumper, clear vertical taillights, and an MG badge on the decklid.

Under the hood is what we believe to be the original 1.8liter 1,798cc overhead valve 4-cylinder engine. Although it's not a very high horsepower engine, it's got enough power to make this 2,200 lb. roadster a ton of fun to drive. The engine is outfitted with a non-original Weber 2-barrel carburetor with a rectangular chrome air breather on top. The original smog equipment is still present, but the belt has been removed. Steering is manual, but this lightweight car is so easy to handle you'd think it has power steering. Stopping power comes courtesy of power front disc and rear drum brakes. Keeping things running nice and cool under the hood is a newer aluminum radiator. Exhaust flows through a stock set-up, emptying just before the bumper on the driver's side. Mated to the four cylinder engine is a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive that allows for economical freeway cruising.

When you open the driver's door, a courtesy light on the dash pops on to illuminate a very nice black interior. The door panels are black vinyl with bright trim, armrests, and speakers. A chrome "MG" sill plate invites you inside for a fun cruise. The bucket seats are covered in black vinyl, with flat vinyl on the bolsters and sides and woven vinyl centers. The seats are comfortable, attractive, and in exceptionally good condition. Between the seats is a center console with an armrest/storage box, a tiny ashtray, and a shifter for the 4-speed transmission with a nice wood "MG" knob and black boot. Ahead of the driver is a very nice wood steering wheel with a working "MG" horn button. On the column are a turn signal stalk to the left and a wiper control stalk to the right. The wipers do work, but they are slow. The wiper stalk does double duty, as it also serves as the overdrive on/off switch. The dash ahead is crack-free black vinyl with an array of working Smith's gauges, including a speedometer, tachometer, and gauges for fuel, oil pressure, and temp. The odometer reads a mere 42,775 miles and the title confirms those to be ACTUAL. We did note during our inspection that the dash lights do not work. Also on the dash are a switch for the lights and controls for the working heat and fan. In the center of the dash is a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo that plays through the door speakers. Below the radio is a 12-volt power outlet. On the passenger's side of the dash is an empty glovebox and a plaque commemorating 50 years of "MG" (1925-1975). On the passenger's kick panel is a storage slot that offers a convenient place to put small items. Behind the seats is a carpeted shelf area that provides extra storage space. Back in the carpeted trunk you'll find a full spare with a carpeted "MG" cover, a tonneau cover, a boot cover, and a factory jack in it's original storage bag.

If you're on the hunt for a fun two-seater convertible, you can't go wrong with this 1975 MGB! It's got stylish good looks, a comfortable and well-equipped interior, and it is an absolute blast to drive! This vintage British roadster offers some serious bang for the buck!
