The Appeal
The MGB Roadster represents classic British open-top motoring at its most accessible and, arguably, at its most enjoyable. Combining nimble handling with rugged mechanics and svelte Italianate styling, the MGB is one of the all time great British motor cars.
This 1979 example benefits from long-term ownership, having been in the current keeper's possession for 25 years. They've taken great care of the car throughout that time, with servicing performed by the vendor's local garage, and most recently some work with the MG Owners' Club.
It boasts several desirable features and upgrades, among them electronic ignition, a stainless steel exhaust, a new fuel tank, unleaded conversion, uprated rear shocks and uprated front brakes.
For those looking to acquire a well-sorted example of this beloved British sports car, this MG has a lot going for it.
Replaced needle valves and floats, tuned and road tested
Greased all steering and suspension
Pressure tested cooling system and all new clips fitted
The vendor reports that the car drives well and is easy to handle
