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 it’s 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.
