A true driver-quality classic, this MGB is ready for open-road enjoyment and weekend adventures.

Performance & Drivetrain

Powering this MGB is MG’s proven 1.8-liter (1798cc) inline 4-cylinder engine, featuring the factory single Zenith-Stromberg carburetor setup. Paired with the 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this roadster offers spirited performance and relaxed highway cruising. Key performance highlights include:

Factory Zenith-Stromberg Carburetor – Designed to meet U.S. emissions standards while maintaining character
4-Speed Manual Transmission with Overdrive – Enhancing highway cruising comfort and efficiency

Exterior Features

The factory-correct black paint presents very well, with excellent body lines and a solid structure. While there are some imperfections and spider cracking consistent with its age, the car retains its original charm. Additional exterior highlights include:

New Black Manual Convertible Top – Recently installed for top-down touring

The interior is in good condition, featuring caramel vinyl bucket seats and a clean, factory-correct dash layout. Key interior highlights include:

Caramel Vinyl Bucket Seats – Clean and comfortable, complementing the black exterior
Aftermarket AM/FM Radio – Adding modern entertainment for your drives
MG Floor Mats – Protecting the interior while maintaining originality

Condition & Maintenance

This MGB has been sparingly used and starts, runs, and drives as expected for a well-preserved collector car. The undercarriage is clean and solid, showing only light surface rust typical of honest original examples. As part of routine servicing for a classic British sports car, we recommend:

Standard Tune-Up – Including carburetor adjustment and timing calibration for optimal performance
