1979 MGB Convertible, Project Car, Red, Black Interior,1.8L Inline 4-Cylinder, 4-Speed Manual Here is a great opportunity for someone looking for a classic British sports car project with plenty of potential! This 1979 MGB Convertible is finished in Red with a Black convertible top and a Black interior featuring bucket seats and a center console. Under the hood is the classic 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The MGB’s lightweight design, independent front suspension, manual gearbox, and traditional roadster layout helped make these cars one of the most recognizable and popular British sports cars ever produced. The interior retains its classic sports-car feel with bucket seating, center console, tachometer, and driver-focused instrumentation. With the top down and a 4-speed in your hand, these cars offer the type of simple, mechanical driving experience that made the MGB famous. Important Project Car Information This vehicle is being offered as a PROJECT CAR and will require mechanical work before being considered road-ready. The car was running previously but has been sitting for some time. It is currently in need of fuel system service, including a gas tank and sending unit. The braking system will also require repair, as the brakes are currently dragging. Because of the time it has been sitting, the buyer should anticipate going through the vehicle mechanically before putting it back on the road. This is not being represented as a turn-key driver. Instead, it is an affordable opportunity to start with a complete classic MGB and bring it back to life. Highlights Include: 1979 MGB Convertible Classic British Roadster Red Exterior Black Convertible Top Black Interior Bucket Seats Center Console 1.8L Inline 4-Cylinder Engine 4-Speed Manual Transmission Rear-Wheel Drive Independent Front Suspension Tachometer Previously Running Needs Gas Tank & Sending Unit Fuel System Will Require Service Brakes Currently Dragging & Require Repair Project Car Lots of Potential! Whether you’re looking for a weekend restoration project, an entry into the classic-car hobby, or simply have always wanted one of these iconic little British roadsters, this 1979 MGB offers a great foundation and plenty of upside for the right enthusiast. Bring your tools, bring your vision, and put this classic MGB back on the road where it belongs! While we do our best to provide the highest quality muscle cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. That being said, we have not built, modified, changed or personally owned this vehicle. Whether this vehicle is consigned or owned by Past & Present Motor Cars we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we not only welcome but we encourage 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. We list our vehicles on multiple websites and a vehicle can sell at any time. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Financing is Available with low rates and Vehicle Shipping is available from our Showroom to your Garage. A Classic Car Warranty is Available for Purchase from a 3rd Party. Please speak to our Sales Associate or Company Representative for more information. Our team is working and available anytime by Phone or Text for your convenience at 407-559-7759.

Past & Present Motor Cars was founded in June of 2018 by Jack and Jeff and began in 2 small warehouses in Ocala and Winter Garden, Florida. After seeing the business have steady growth in the first year and a half in March 2020 we moved our Main Location in Winter Garden to a new location that at the time seemed huge. We were a little nervous to take on this larger building and higher rent but we knew we had to THINK BIG. After getting moved in, that was the start of Covid. Just after getting settled in we put signs on the door saying we were only open by appointment. While it was a tough time in the world it actually was a good time to be in the car business especially the classic car business and we continued to see steady growth. After 2 1/2 years in that location we proceeded to acquire 4 buildings and lease a 5th building. This allowed for the operation we have today with 150+ Classic Cars and a Service Department. We are still doing the same thing we have done everyday since we opened, Great Customer Service, Owners that are Available and Accessible for our customers and very happy to talk cars anytime anywhere. We will never grow too big to be real with anyone! Keeping our commitment to our customers through straightforward business and ALWAYS doing the right thing! We are the same people with the same commitment as the day we opened and our slogan is and remains:
Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
