MG MGB Mark IV (1978)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Auction ends: Monday, June 15, 4:15pm EST, 1:15pm PST.
This car is for sale locally as well, however, once the reserve has been met, I will not end the auction for any reason.
VIN was not accepted by eBay likely due to the fact the car was manufactured prior to 1981. However, below is a pic of the builders plate.
Selling a '78 MG MGB Mark IV with a low 42, 616 miles. The car has origins in Canada and therefore the odometer and speedometer are in metric. I legally imported the car myself and can provide import paperwork upon request.
This MGB has had an extensive full frame-off restoration about 4, 900 miles ago at a cost of about $19, 000. I have the original owner's manual as well as receipts and other documents collected over the years. Also have the owner history and aside from 2 dealerships, this car seems to have had 4 prior owner's over its 37 years. Car drives like new. Video at bottom demonstrates the gears shift flawlessly and absolutely everything works (there are 3 video's spliced into one but for some reason there are significant gaps in between the video's. Just advance after each one to catch them all ).

Comments: This is a very nicely restored MG B roadster that was treated to a full and complete restoration in the late 1980's and was completed to a high standard at that time. The car has traveled only 8k KM (4900 miles) since and no major wear was noted in any area. Overall a very nice and original example that presents near the top of its class.

I have received a few calls about whether or not I would deliver the MG. This is a possibility but I can only decide on a case by case basis. I do have truck and trailer and perhaps could deliver at about a $1.00 per mile (loaded only, the return is on me). I may be able to do less if the trip is greater then 500 miles. But again, please contact me for more information on this.
