MG MGB Roadster 1979 – Pageant Blue – Overdrive
I’m selling my 1979 MG MGB Roadster, in its very lovely Pageant Blue colour—a shade produced only between 1978 and 1980.
This is an American-spec original model, fitted with a manual gearbox with Overdrive. The bumpers have been replaced by chromed bumpers by a previous owner in the Netherlands.
Its real standout is its exceptional provenance: two folders document its life since 1999 (including the file of the second Dutch owner), with photos of the original bumpers from the first American owner, along with invoices, photographs, servicing and modifications. Such a complete file is extremely rare.
