1979 MGB, 82k Miles, Two Owners!

Harry's Thoughts

This is a very nice example that is sure to help make its new caretaker many happy memories!

THE ESSENTIALS

This is a two owner low mileage MGB still sporting its original livery of maroon paint, tan interior and black soft top. This sportscar has travelled a mere 82,000 miles since new.  In 1994 service records show it as having travelled 78,792 miles since new.  It was then owned by Richard Graham who had this car for twenty years from about July 7th, 1990 to early 2010.

Pretty much all original, including a soft top that we understand is from about 1985, top boot and tonnaeu cover, this car has been very well maintained.  We have fully recommissioned it and it runs and drives very well.  New tires, brakes that have been gone through, full tune up and more.  This is a nice collector car that can be enjoyed and driven over the summer.  This is a car that is free from rot and is very solid.  It appears to be an accident free MGB that has never been rusty and always loved.

It is in overall good condition and is not concours in any respect.  It is a car to use on weekends or as often as you wish; and you can take to car shows as you see fit.  We have been using this car as a daily driver for several months and are thoroughly enjoying it!!  It gets attention from all who see it.

The terrific combination of maroon with tan interior is wonderful.  The newly detailed wheels with the new radial tires make them pop to the eye.  This is a good value as an affordable collector car that can be a blast as is and improved cosmetically over time as you desire.  Enjoy it!

The Value Guide has a range of values for this model at an “Average” of $7,200 to a “High” of $16,550.  See the details at: NADA Guide

MG MGB

Interesting Fact: The MGB succeeded the MGA, both of which were produced by MG, in 1962. Production continued on this model until 1980, which ended with over 523,000 cars being manufactured.

Interesting Fact: The MGB succeeded the MGA, both of which were produced by MG, in 1962. Production continued on this model until 1980, which ended with over 523,000 cars being manufactured. Assembly on the MGB occurred in multiple areas, but originally began in Abingdon, England before eventually moving to Australia. The car itself is a powerful beast, with a 0 to 60 acceleration time of around 11 seconds with a power output of 95 horsepower; both respectable numbers for the time period. Crumple zones were first introduced on the MGB, a game-changer for the automobile industry, when a driver was killed in a collision with a taxi. This event led to the development of safety standards for the auto industry as a whole. There is a four-cylinder and eight-cylinder option for the MGB, but both are known for providing a fantastic driving experience. Car collectors and enthusiasts alike still try to get their hands on this model!
