As one of the final years for the iconic MGB, this 1979 model represents the end of an era for the beloved British roadster. Dressed in a captivating shade of blue, this MGB Convertible is a vintage gem ready to make every drive an adventure. The sleek lines and classic proportions are accentuated by the chrome bumpers, grille, and trim, a result of its meticulous restoration that transformed it from a later black bumper model to an earlier chrome-clad beauty, bringing it tantalizingly close to show-quality perfection. Rolling on 14" wheels wrapped in 185/65R14 tires up front and 185/60R14 in the rear, this MGB has a sporty and confident stance.
Slip into the inviting brown vinyl bucket seats, and you'll be greeted by a tastefully restored interior with custom touches that elevate it to near-concourse level. The leather-wrapped door panels and rear trim add a touch of refinement, while the center console with its dual stereo head unit brings modern convenience to the classic cockpit. The carpets, although showing minor signs of age, are in great shape overall, and the black vinyl convertible top provides a snug and stylish shelter from the elements when needed.
Lift the hood, and you'll find a peppy 1.8-liter inline-four engine enhanced with a Pierce intake and an exhaust header for improved breathing. The alternator has been upgraded, and the wiring and hoses, while showing some patina, are in good working order. Paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, this MGB delivers an engaging driving experience with responsive steering and confident braking thanks to power disc brakes up front, making it a joy to pilot on twisty roads or during spirited weekend jaunts.
