model B was produced from Sept 1962 until July 1980 at the Abingdon
Works facility. Many people consider the little roadster to be
definition of affordable spirts car fun. If you want an affordable,
easily maintainable, drop top that are an absolute blast to drive
the MGB is the perfect car. This 1979 MGB is a great example of
what these cars would look like from the factory. The limited
edition black paint is clean with no major deficiencies the car
shows extremely well. The original top was beginning to show its
age so the current owner decided to replace it with a period
correct one and now looks brand new. Under the hood the original
1798CC 4 cylinder is a viable option for a car that weighs less
than 2000 LBS. The original electronic ignition is in great working
order and seems to have no issues as the car starts right up and
idles nicely. Power is smooth and really comes to life at the
higher RPM's just like it should. The 4-speed synchronized manual
transmission shifts nicely with the clutch having great feel. The
black interior on the car is as nice as everything else making this
one of the most sought after of all MGB's. With most these cars,
having been restored by your typical backyard mechanic it's nice to
see one that you know exactly what it is. Options on this 1979 MGB
