1978 MG MGB

MG MGB (1978)
for sale

Price: US $207.50

Description:

I am not a dealer and yes this is my car (actually my wife's). We need the garage bay for new vehicle, so this lovely 1978 white MGB must go!
As the pictures show, this MGB is as clean as they get. The car was formerly owned by the parts manager of the MG dealership that used to be in our area. This car is leyland white with a black interior, black top and has wire wheels. Car comes with factory jack, knock off wrench, tonneau bar, full tonneau cover and convertible top. Also in the boot will be a spare wire wheel, tire & tube. Yes, everything works on this car, except for the electric clock & the seat belt buzzer (repair shop disconnected it). If you are a purist looking for a concourse restoration, please do not bid! However, if you want a car restored with driving in mind, you may not find a better example. The single Stromberg carb has been replaced by a pair of SU HS4 carbs complete with heat shield and overflow tubes. The original electronic ignition has been replaced with a lucas sports coil and lucas distributor with points. The cast iron intake/exhaust manifold has been replaced with a tubular header. Lastly, the rubber bumper MGBs had to have the ride height raised at the factory to meet the US EPA minimum bumper height required in the late 70s, so this car has been lowered by a inch to pre rubber bumper ride height. Also, the radio has been replaced with a modern cd/sat ready head unit with power antenna. California buyers take note, that the OEM distributor, carb, manifold have been boxed and go with the car.
The car retains its original smog pump, air rail, evaporate loss and egr systems as those operate as they should and present no significant performance detriment. The car was given a new SU fuel pump, fuel tank and fuel lines. The car was fitted with a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. The braking system received a new master cylinder, wheel cylinders and any suspect lines replaced.
Bidders are strongly encouraged to come view and inspect this MGB. You will not be disappointed!
Good luck and Happy bidding!
