The Appeal
Powered by the familiar B-series straight-four, with handsome lines and nimble handling, it's little wonder that the MGB managed to perfectly hit the zeigeist when it was introduced, and quickly became one of the most synonymous examples of the Great British sports car. It continues to be one of the most accessible classics on the market, thanks in no small part to its enormous support network.
This 1978 example is one of the later rubber-bumpered MGBs, proudly reported by the vendor to carry a low mileage of just 35,750 miles. Having been cherished by its previous owner for an impressive 43 years, this MGB has seen little use in recent years and will no doubt benefit from a buyer willing to bring it back up to true road-going snuff.
