Sold 1980 MG MGB 155041056 Tweet

The MGB is a sports car that MG introduced to replace the MGA in 1962. The roadster was the first body style to be released and was a pure two seater. By making better use of space the MGB was able to offer more passenger and luggage space than the MGA while being 3 inches shorter overall. The suspension was also softer, giving a smoother ride and the larger engine gave a slightly higher top speed. Wind-up windows were standard, a parcel shelf was fitted behind the seats and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 1798cc engine rated at 95 hp that was capable of a 060 mph time of just over 11 seconds. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in an impact. This particular example has 30,919 original miles and is completely original. It has been pampered since new and serviced regularly. There was an issue with it overheating and it was addressed at a reputable shop with a copy of the receipt attached. The original cockpit cover and spare are included as shown in the pix. It also comes with a shop manual, a dealer technician training manual, a car cover, a front end bra and a boot for the top. We would consider this a solid #2 car and as such would appraise it at the midpoint between the high and average NADA values which is currently $22,300. We have it priced to sell quickly so if you like what you see dont wait to contact us as it might be too late!
