Later MGBs came with unsightly rubber bumpers, but the good news is you can quite easily change these to earlier chrome bumpers. Much better.
That's the treatment this 1979 MG Roadster has received, and it has been further upgraded with alloy wheels and K&N air filters. Our car has been in the care of its current owner, who imported it from the UK and has since kept it garage-stored, bringing it out for weekend classic car meetings.
The vendor describes the car as being in very good and original condition. The exterior has been recently detailed and polished, while the seats are said to be in very good condition with all interior plastics in good order. On the mechanical front, recent work includes the installation of a new electric fuel pump and air filters, along with carburettor adjustment and general maintenance. The vendor reports a very smooth drive and considers the car reliable enough for daily use as well as leisurely weekend outings. For those seeking a well-maintained, usable MGB with a straightforward ownership proposition, this example warrants a closer look.IMG_7462 ÉPOCA MOTOR 1980 SL.jpg7.6 MB
