Up for sale a 1979 MGB Roadster Convertible. Health concerns causes sale of my project, My loss your gain. I have been working on this car for about 4 years and recent health issues has prevented my finishing car. I have already done a lot of work on car but it has set idle for the past 8 months in the process the lower quarter panel got damaged and the new convertible top was damaged so instead of it getting damaged more I have decided to sell car. I have already replaced all the suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rods, rear suspension and replaced rear hydraulic shocks with upgraded gas shocks. replaced engine all motor and trans mounts. It has the 1800 engine with the 4 speed with electric overdrive. All electric does work except the windshield washer and I don't have the dash light switch. Has new fuel tank and sending unit. I have the original rims that have been powder coated silver. The car just needs to be finished, It needs carpet, tires, exhaust, door panels and kick panels. I have about 3 boxes of spare parts and a new console that came from a British Leland dealer in the UK. I also replaced the original intake and twin carbs for an intake with a weber 2 barrel carb and header. I have around $5400.00 in new parts and paint on car. It has no rust and no rust repair that I could find or any wreck damage. I do have all receipts and a good Texas title. Thanks for looking and good luck. A $1000.00 Deposit due upon end of auction balance due upon pick-up. I forgot to mention that the car is painted a jaguar metallic blue. I have a pint of touch up paint that goes with car. I LOOKED THE CAR UP ON NADA CLASSIC CAR WEBSITE AND THE VALUE THEY GIVE FOR CAR IS $6550.00 IN LOW RETAIL AND $11400.00 IN AVERAGE RETAIL AND $23900.00 IN HIGH END CONDITION. I am not going to give the car away I am not meaning to sound harsh or trying to get anyone upset I am just trying to recover at least a portion of the money I have invested in car not including my time and effort on car. Thank you for looking and I hope someone will see the value of this car and don't give up on the car. People keep asking if the car is driveable so let me take the time to address this one final time. The car is an unfinished project car if it was drivable I would be asking a lot more for it. As far as I know it still needs tires, the engine tuned, complete interior except seats, and full exhaust. Thank you very much for looking
