Description:

A good friend asked me to help him sell his MG-B LE roadster. He just retired and decided to thin the herd rather then pay for off-site winter storage. This is his fifth MG. He is very meticulous and a great mechanic. He used his expertise, experience and ambition to put this car into fabulous condition. He has a folder containing receipts that totals more then the asking price! His purchase and time are not even included! In the two years he owned it, he went through it from top to bottom, side to side, inside and out. He rebuilt both the engine and transmission. The entire braking system is new. All wheel bearings and seals were replaced. All rubber goods are new. The alternator was replaced. A new Flamethrower distributor and coil were installed. A new SU manual choke carburetor was purchased. The fuel system was replaced. He converted the rear shocks to tube type. Both the bonnet and boot prop rods were eliminated with gas struts. He sourced a brand new wheel and tire for the spare. Now it matches the jack=unused! He installed a retro-appearing modern AM/FM stereo, new carpet and a new convertible top. The tonneau cover is also new. Can you imagine the amount of time and skill involved in all these upgrades?! He did have time to drive it. He managed to put on 2000 miles. He enjoyed showing the car. It is completely and thoroughly sorted. All features function properly. No repairs are required. Just put gas in the tank and enjoy! As you likely know, 1980 was the end of MG. They produced the LE model in 79 and 80, only building 6668 units. They are all black. They have special wheels and steering wheel, luggage rack, front air dam and silver stripes. A few minor modifications, such as the crab and radio, were made. But essentially this car is very original in appearance. The body is completely rust-free. It spent most of its life in Florida. You will notice all welds, pans and jacking points are in perfect condition. It has been repainted and is in good driver quality finish. The interior is splendid. There are no flaws. Same goes for the boot. Very, very nice. Due to all the repairs and improvements, the performance is splendid. Everything has been tended too. No worries here. Time, skill, passion and familiarity made this car into what it is today. The next owner is certainly going to reap the benefits of the investments and efforts he made.
