1975 MGB ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE SEBRING STYLE
This is a 1975 5-Speed
Conversion MGB with wire wheels that you will be proud to drive.
This is a GREAT running car
that has benefited from a lot of recent improvements including most of the interior, which is beautiful, and it sports a brand new top! The car comes with detailed
receipts for parts and labor during the last 2 years; thousands of dollars
worth that you won’t have to invest.

The car runs beautifully
and drives great! It starts immediately and doesn’t require any warmup to
drive off. The transmission, which is an upgrade with a Datsun 280ZX 5 speed
rebuilt transmission, shifts PERFECTLY into and out of all gears including on
the downshifts. The clutch action is perfect as well. The brakes are all in
good working order and the car stops predictably and straight, just like it
should. The suspension is tight! It sports a SPAX tube-shock conversion, a
desirable improvement. The exhaust system is in perfect order.
I own an MG myself and have sold several MG's for friends before and I am impressed by how well this car runs and drives. The engine is very peppy and with the 5 Speed transmission it behaves VERY well on the highway and you can comfortably cruise at 75 mph.
Here’s a video of starting
up this car in a cold-start situation.

The only issues with this
car are body cosmetic, there are a several scratches here and there, partly from
having had a hard-top for several years. But they are not very noticeable with
the convertible top on. As you may know, it is rust that you have to worry
about. And this car is clear in that department, the floorboards were professionally replaced within the last year or so. There are just a few small
bubbling issues (pictured) that seem very stable.
Note about the odometer, it shows mileage of about 68, 000. But the DMV must have found some kind of mileage discrepancy in the past and the title shows a mileage of 999, 999 which is the regulation for any odometer discrepancy. From the condition of the engine, it expect that the engine was overhauled within the last several years.
The body has been modified
with a Sebring-style kit. It’s very attractive!
This is a car that is on
the road right now, it needs nothing to pass Massachusetts Inspection and take
you on a road adventure.
