1978 MGB Roadster Beauty. Fun and Performance A two-door sports car manufactured purely for fun and driving enjoyment. Recognizable anywhere in the World. the MGB provides great handling. spontaneous performance. and driving comfort with extraordinarily gracious legroom for a sports car. The B series engine (BMC B-Series. 1. 8 l) is one of the most responsive and strongest engines around. The steel bodied car was constructed utilizing a monocoque structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction giving it exceptional overall vehicle strength. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger. The MGB was an innovative. modern design when it was first released in 1962. By 1978. this well-built and forward designed car has become an iconic legend. The MGB has proven to be one of the best examples in the classic car market of combining fun. sexy and affordable. All of this and a great investment. This exquisite example. GHN5UJ452707. runs and drives as beautifully as it looks. A simple de-code of the car shows that all is correct.
