MG MGB (1979)
for sale

Price: US $4,900.00

Description:

Up for sale is my 1979 MGB Roadster that I have had for almost 35 years. It was purchased in 1982 with only 4, 000 miles and has been leisurely used over the years with currently only 57, 888 miles (Dial has never flipped these are original and actual). The car is mostly still stock and original with the original white paint. I took videos of the car being driven and also of the car itself. I tried to get as many photos and videos of all imperfections as possible so please look carefully. Due to someone may want to buy this car without being able to see it I tried to show all the flaws not hide them. 2 Videos at bottom of this description. Please view!
The Good:
Very clean well cared for car.Low miles with one owner for last 35 yearsIt is very mechanically sound, runs cool, shifts smooth and handles corners great Gauges all work and light upHorn, running lights, blinkers, headlights & break lights all workFront windshield recently replaced No chips or cracks on any of the glassWindows roll up and down easily and are in good conditionWindshield wipers work with newer wiper bladesOriginal car jack in trunk Original Tonneau Cover in excellent condition Original Top Boot in excellent condition The original 8 track radio by British Leyland Motors, Inc. M#BLM-10504 comes with car if desired. It was taken out of car many years ago but I still have it and will give with car if buyer desires it. It worked when it was taken out about 25 years ago and I will try and get it tested to be sure if desired.The black carpet is newer and is in excellent conditionNewer upholstery Has back jump seat with seat belt New tires and new spare installed from Discount Tire on 10/07/2016Great sound system installed with amp and two 10 subwoofersOriginal white paint jobNo rust under car!
The Bad:
Front passenger CV Boot is torn and will eventually need to be replacedI do have the original soft top frame but unfortunately the original soft top is in too poor of condition to be used (replacement soft-tops are readily available on eBay for under $250 or from Moss Motors for $319 if you desire the top)This is more good then bad but the paint job is the original white and shows typical dings, minor dents, scratches, nicks, chips and other imperfections typical with age and the fact it has never been repainted. Hood has some small dings on it. Hard to get in photos but I did the best I could and if your concerned I can take more in different lightsPassenger side mirror is missing the mirror/glass and thus not on car. Holder comes with car. Just needs new mirror/glass. It is not on car in photos but I do show photo of it. Has the screw to attach.Driver side glass (small corner piece) does not lock properlyOne of the rims is missing its beauty ring. You can remove the other 3 beauty rings so rims all look the same or you could easily find a replacement beauty ring if desired. No keys for the trunk, doors or glove box. Trunk has a dent where hook/stopper meets the trunk. This happened about 28 years ago when my uncle tried to slam the trunk shut without unlocking the release button. I do have a replacement trunk that will come with car if buyer desiresLeather gear shift cover has rip in it at bottom. Not very noticiable but is there - see pic Dash has hole for choke but is missing cap. It did not have a choke only a cap that covered the hole.Original cigarette lighter blows fuse but using a car charger does not so I am assuming it's the lighter that has the issue. Original lighter does come with car.Blinker & brights switch is a bit loose but does workFront speakers are missing beauty rings/coversBack seat has 2 very small tears. One on seat and one on backrest. Tears are glued shut with upholstery glue and not very noticiable
I have really tried via photos and videos and in this list to show all the flaws and imperfections on this car and not hide anything from a potential buyer. If you want to see something you can't make out or have any questions at all please shoot me a message and I will re-video or photograph it close up for you. If you want to see the gauges while going faster than I went in the video just let me know and I will take it out and go on a higher speed road. Potential buyers are welcome and encouraged to come and test drive car and do a full inspection. Please buy this car with confidence for this car has a special place in my heart and I am selling due to it's just not practical for me to keep just to keep especially when I really need the room in my garage for my daily driver that is black and sits out in the Phoenix sun because this MG is kept inside :)
