1979 MG MGB

THE MG B IS A BRITISH BUILT 2-DOOR SPORTS CAR MANUFACTURED AND MARKETED FROM 1962 UNTIL 1980. WHILE THE MG B WAS DESIGNED TO BE MORE OF A GRAND TOURER THAN AN OUT AND OUT, PANTS-ON-FIRE SPORTS CAR. THE ENGINE IS TORQUEY AND WELL GEARED WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE . THE MG B WAS AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CHOICE BACK IN THE DAY WHICH COULD BE TUNED TO GREAT SUCCESS FOR COMPETITION WITH THE ENGINE BEING SO TORQUEY AND POWERFUL IT PROVIDES DECENT PERFORMANCE, WHILE THE SUSPENSION OFFERS A GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN A DECENT RIDE AND REASONABLE HANDLING.

THE MG B SPORTS ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE OFFERED HERE IS IN FINE ALL ROUND CONDITION. THE LITTLE ROADSTER DRIVES AND STOPS GREAT, AND SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE, TURNING HEADS WHEREVER IT TRAVELS.

THE MG B UNDERWENT A FULL NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION DURING THE 1990S AT CONSIDERABLE FINANCIAL COST AND MAN HOURS AND REMAINS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION TODAY.

ALL BODY PANELS ARE STRAIGHT AND TRUE. THERE ARE NO DENTS ETC. THE GLEAMING RUSSETT BROWN PAINTWORK IS IN GOOD ORDER PROVIDING A DEEP SHINE. (PLEASE NOTE THE EIGHTH PHOTOGRAPH APPEARS TO SHOW A FLAW ON THE PAINTWORK OF THE BOOT LID, THIS IS NOT THE CASE, WHAT IS SHOWN IS NO MORE THAN A REFLECTION). THE HOOD IS WATER AND WIND TIGHT AND THERE IS ALSO A SEPARATE HOOD TIDY COVER. THE ROSTYLE ALLOY WHEELS WITH MATCHING TYRES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS IS THE CHROMEWORK. IN ESSENCE, THIS IS A TRULY STUNNING CLASSIC BRITISH 2 + 2 SEATER CONVERTIBLE SPORTS ROADSTER.

THE INTERIOR IS ALSO IN GOOD ORDER, ORIGINAL, CLEAN AND UNCLUTTERED. THERE ARE NO TEARS, UNSIGHTLY SCUFFS OR MARKS, SIGNS OF WEAR OR DISCOLOURATION. ALL IS IN TACT, FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED, COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT TO THE EYE.

THE CHASSIS AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS CLEAN AND SOLID IN ALL AREAS, AS ARE THE FLOOR PANS ETC. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ROT/ RUST ANYWHERE.

THE BOOT - AGAIN VERY CLEAN, SOLID AND UN-CLUTTERED.

ENGINE BAY - AS PER THE BOOT.

ENGINE - THE ENGINE IS RELIABLE, AGILE AND RESPONSIVE, STARTS FIRST TIME OF ASKING EVERY TIME. IT SOUNDS GREAT THROUGH THE GEARBOX AND FULL EXHAUST SYSTEM (RECENTLY FITTED WITH A NEW BACK BOX).

TRANSMISSION - THE SHORT SHIFT 4 SPEED ALL SYNCHROMESH MANUAL GEAR BOX WITH OVER-DRIVE IS LIKE THE ENGINE, AGILE, RESPONSIVE AND SMOOTH TO THE CHANGE.

BRAKES - SPOT ON !

ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A FANTASTIC MG B SPORTS ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE WHICH IS MUCH ADMIRED AND SO ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE. IT ALWAYS BRINGS AN INSTANT AND ENDURING SMILE OF PRIDE AND SATISFACTION.
