Body / Exterior:
The example presented here is a June 1979 MG B in its period 'British Racing Green' colour.
Today it is in excellent display condition, showing a uniform finish and excellent gloss.
After a professional polish performed at the shop, we noted a small paint defect along the front right indicator light contour and a small dent on the trunk lid on the driver’s side.
The chrome bumpers and chrome bumper guards are perfectly positioned and in good condition. We noted a small dent on the front left bumper guard.
The chrome trim around the body shows a few small dings.
The chrome mirrors are in perfect condition.
The black faux leather hood is in good condition.
Its fitting is easy and its sealing remains compliant with the era’s standards.
The mica surfaces are also in good condition despite slight opacification.
This sample is equipped with a sought-after option: the black faux leather tonneau cover is in good condition; its installation remains marginally improvable.
The 4 14'' steel wheels and their chrome MG trims are in good condition. We noted some scuff marks around the trims.
Tires show 10% wear at the front and 10% wear at the rear.
This car retains its original spare wheel as well as its jack and cross-shaped key.
Among the exterior features and options, this example includes the black faux leather tonneau cover and the chrome boot badge.

Interior:
The cabin is in very good presentation condition.
Tan leather upholstery is in very good condition.
This example is fitted with a central armrest in black faux leather with an integrated ashtray.
The whole is in good condition.
Door panels in black faux leather are also in good condition, with no interior access marks or stitching issues.
These show some interior access marks.
The dashboard and its black cap are in good display condition.
We noted a repair mark on the contour of the dashboard on the passenger side.
The original onboard instrumentation is fully functional, as is the quartz clock.
The radio is no longer functional but has been retained for aesthetic reasons.
This example is equipped with a 3-spoke wood steering wheel in good condition.
The bakelite gear knob shows a uniform patina.
This sample also has 2-point seatbelts.
The black carpets are in good condition, with no major wear or fading.
Among the interior equipment and options, notable items include 2-point aviation-type seatbelts, the 3-spoke wood steering wheel, and aluminium door sills.

Chassis:
Lifting onto the ramp confirms a healthy shell, with no visible accident damage or apparent structural corrosion.
Fundamentals: sills, floors, wing bottoms, wheel arches and longitudinals are in good condition.
Usage reserve: as a principle we cannot guarantee these elements beyond their good visual and functional condition validated during road test and lifting.
During the dynamic test we noted no abnormal noises from the body or suspension components (ball joints, poly bushes, etc.).
The pivot kit and front triangle poly bushes were replaced in 2022 by a specialist (invoice available).
Braking is balanced, with no vibrations or abnormal noises.
Front brake discs show 20% wear.
Front brake pads show 50% wear.
Rear drums are fully functional and free of seepage traces.
A pre-delivery technical inspection will confirm overall good operation.

Engine / Transmission:
The mechanics operate perfectly.
Compression tests and road test by our workshop confirm a healthy engine block.
The four-cylinder starts immediately, with no smoke or suspicious noises and with stable idle, as confirmed by the 360° video with the engine running available at the start of the slides.
When up to temperature, revving is smooth and linear.
Reliability is enhanced by the additional electric cooling fan.
We noted stainless steel protection on the radiator housing.
This example is equipped with 2 sport air filters H54.
The starter and ignition coil were replaced in 2024 by a specialist (invoice available).
All four speed gears mesh and synchro well.
Clutch grip is good.
As is common with these models, engine/ gearbox/ axle seals remain only average.
