Up for sale is my 1979 MGB Roadster that I have had for almost 35 years. It was purchasedin 1982 with only 4,000 miles and has been leisurely used over the yearswith currentlyonly 57,888 miles (Dial has never flipped these are original and actual). The car is mostly still stock and original with the original white paint. I took videos of the car being drivenand also of the car itself. I tried to get as many photos and videos of all imperfections as possible so please look carefully. Due to someone may want to buy this car without being able to see it I tried to show all the flaws not hide them. 2 Videos at bottom of this description. Please view!

The Bad:
- Front passenger CV Boot is torn and will eventually need to be replaced
- I do have theoriginal softtop framebut unfortunately the original soft top is in too poor of condition to be used(replacementsoft-tops are readily available on eBay for under$250 or from Moss Motors for $319 if you desire the top)
- This is more good then bad but the paint job is the original whiteand shows typical dings, minor dents,scratches, nicks,chips and other imperfections typical with age and the fact it has never been repainted. Hood has some small dings on it. Hard to get in photos but I did the best I could and if your concerned I can take more indifferent lights
- Passenger side mirror is missing the mirror/glass and thus not on car. Holder comes with car. Just needs new mirror/glass. It is not on car in photos but I doshow photo of it.Has the screw to attach.
- Driver side glass (small corner piece)does notlock properly
- One of the rims is missing its beauty ring. You can remove the other 3 beauty ringsso rims all look the same or you could easily find a replacement beauty ringif desired.
- No keysfor the trunk, doorsor glove box.
- Trunk has adent where hook/stopper meets the trunk. This happened about28 years ago when myuncletried to slam thetrunk shut without unlocking the release button. I do have a replacement trunk thatwill come with car if buyer desires
- Leather gear shift cover has rip in it at bottom. Not very noticiablebut is there- see pic
- Dash has hole for choke but is missing cap. It did not have a choke only a cap that covered the hole.
- Original cigarette lighter blows fuse but using a car charger does not so I am assuming it's thelighter that has the issue. Original lighter does come with car.
- Blinker & brightsswitch isa bit loosebut does work
- Front speakers are missing beauty rings/covers
- Back seat has 2 very small tears. One on seat and one on backrest. Tears are glued shut withupholstery glue and not very noticiable
