1978 MGB Roadster, 1.8L 4Cyl, 4 Speed, Gorgeous Survivor
Here is a classically beautiful MG-B roadster in great condition inside and out.
The car was brought over from its original location of California before residing here in Arizona. It is tough to find these MGs with this kind of low mileage because once you drive this car you won't want to get out. Here is your chance to own this elegantly designed British roadster for a great price!
The list of some of the equipment:
-1.8L inline 4 Cylinder, Pushrod Single Cam
-4 Speed Manual Transmission
-Black Soft Top
-AM/FM Radio
-Original Dash
-Beautiful Vinyl Interior
The body on the car is in very good condition and was well maintained. The Leyland White paint on the car is in good condition and looks nearly as good as the day in rolled of the lot and is ALL ORIGINAL PAINT and decals. Even the original
1977 SCCA Championship sticker remains from new. The car does have a very few tiny dings and paint blemishes which have been touched up, but remember its 36
years old and only original once! The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as a west coast car should be with not even a single pea sized rust bubble.
The car does have the OEM 14” steel wheels which have all been restored to original specs and got new center caps. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The tires are in very good condition and have about 500 miles on them. The black soft top is brand new condition and was just installed. Overall the exterior appearance of this car is a 9 out of 10.
The interior is in great shape all around.
The dash and door panels are in perfect condition. The seats are all in very good condition with no tares or rips and very minimal wear to the driver seat foam, which shows the quality of material, used in this car. The plastic trim is in excellent condition. The carpets are all very nice and have been professionally cleaned. All dials and controls function as they should. The sound system is also working correctly.
Mechanically, this MG runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The engine is surprisingly quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at highway speeds above 90mph. The car is also very economical and is rated at 25mpg average fuel consumption. The car has just had the mechanical system gone through and received new water pump, fuel pump, alternator, and a full tune up. The under bonnet is very clean and tidy and is ALL ORIGINAL condition and has only been cleaned up, but retains all original painted surfaces.
The car has original keys as well as all the original manuals and maintenance records. The original spare is in the trunk with the tools also has a brand new matching tire. The car has the original tonneau cover, top boot, and spare parts.
All in all, this is one of the cleanest and nicest MGs that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owner. This MGB is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. This is your chance to get an almost new convertible for a fraction of the cost and well below blue book. This is definitely a weekend cruiser that you don't want to miss the opportunity to own! The car has a clean Arizona Title.
