Description of 1980 MG MGB

More than just giving you bang for your buck, this 1980 MGB just really seems to offer the best of everything in one affordable package. It is the quintessential nimble British roadster in a great color combo, and it has great features like two tops, alloy wheels, and even A/C!The first thing you notice about this roadster is how clean the lines look. The black bumpers of these later models have been shaved, and replaced with the more desirable chrome grille, and out back, the black rubber has also been removed to leave you with body-hugging color matched endcaps. The whole presentation is very sleek, professional, and just unique enough to get attention in a crowd. The chrome trunk rack adds a bit of class, and the minilite-style wheels adds to this distinction. But the heart of this MGB's sophistication lies in the paint. There is just something nice and proper about a deep burgundy and a bright tan folding top. This is the factory-correct color, so it proves just how timeless this appearance really is.Most MGBs are not loaded with comfort features, which is what makes this one so unique. Not only is there a great AM/FM/CD stereo that allows you to hear your favorite tunes with the top down, but you can stay open-air comfortable all year long with air conditioning. Yes, this little roadster has A/C! You even get a removable hardtop for times when you need more than just a folding roof. Beyond that are the fundamentals that make an MGB a great driver's car. The space between the three-spoke wheel and the stick shift is exceptionally close for comfortable and quick performance. You get a full set of gauges with a large speedometer and tachometer, as well as dials for other vitals such as oil, fuel, and water. The tan leather interior is in great condition, and over the coming years it will resist UV fading much better than the black ones. Since you'll be spending most of your time with the top down, the included convertible top boot cover will certainly come in handy.Power comes from a sprightly 1798cc four-cylinder motor. You'll be quite impressed how this one fires up thanks to a conversion over to a Weber carburetor for an extra kick of power. With a sporty exhaust note and a willingness to rev, the engine lives up to its British roadster pedigree by offering a mighty experience in a small package. The sound of the powerplant, the slickness of the four-speed gearbox, and unmatched tight handling are some of this car's many virtues. There is a surefooted feeling on the road thanks to front disc brakes and a newer master cylinder. This level of maintenance and smart upgrades creates a total package that makes sure there's noting to get in between you and the feeling of the road.Who knew you could pick up an MGB in a great color combo, and even A/C, for such an affordable price? This is the kind of value and appeal that will leave our showroom quickly. Call now!
