1978 MGB ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE LOW MILEAGE ONE OWNER CAR
This is a beautiful INCA
YELLOW 1978 MGB that you will be proud to drive! Total original mileage is just
under 46, 000 miles!
This is a great-running car
that has remained in the loving hands of the original owner from new; it has
been professionally maintained over the years and kept registered and on the
road every year of its life. It is only being sold due to health issues of the
owner. A loving home is being sought for it!

The car runs and drives
great! Notice from the photos that this car is outfitted with all the original
equipment of the era (smog pump, Zenith carb, catalytic converter, air rail, automatic choke, etc). So itβs a bit of a time capsule, perfect for those who
like originality. The only departure from original under the hood is the
electric fan kit, which keeps this car nice and cool under all conditions. The
Zenith carb is probably not the top choice for performance, so bear in mind
that you can squeeze some more horsepower out of this car with some very
straight-forward modifications.
Within the last 4 years, this car was treated to a paint re-spray and it looks beautiful! There are no
dents or gauges on the paint. The only blemish is a rusty area in the lower
front RH fender (pictured). But it seems to be stable, should not require any
intervention for several years. The top is new and in perfect condition. The
interior is in very good condition! The original tools and owner manual are
included.
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.
