1978 MG MGB Vin: GHN5UJ456366G - Beautiful British Racing Green - Ivory seats with matching BRG piping - Woodgrain dashboard, center console and radio - 1,798cc Inline Four - 4-speed manual transmission - Minilite style wheels When launched in May 1962, the MGB was to become, for many, the epitome of the modern British sportscar; who would have thought that this MG model with its stunning lines would prove to be the last MG to be built at the famous Abingdon factory. The MGB was in continuous production up until the closure of Abingdon in October 1980. Throughout its 18 year life span the basic body shape remained unaltered. This was apart from the post 1975 models sporting impact resistant black bumpers front and rear, primarily to meet the American safety legislation. The affordable MGB spawned many variants along the way and this was from a car that was mainly intended to be a two seater replacement for the hugely successful MGA. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present the handsome 1978 British Racing Green MG MGB that you see pictured. This MG has benefitted from a recent professional paint job and restored interior and looks spectacular! This MGB is a truly enjoyable car to drive. A great looking vehicle that has shown to actually increase in value over the years! Finished in classic British Racing Green, the paint is in great shape and we are hard pressed to find imperfections! The front and rear rubber bumpers are in overall great shape with some minor scrapes. Both side decals are in excellent shape with no fading. The soft top appears to be recently new with very minor imperfections and the rear windows are excellent and clear. Overall, this is one incredible looking MG! Inside, you’ll see that the interior is in great shape. The ivory seats are in excellent condition, have British Racing Green piping and show no signs of wear or tear. The carpet, door panels and dashboard are all also in excellent condition. The dashboard, center console and radio are all finished off with stunning wood grain and the original Clarion 6300R radio is functional! All gauges are in working order including the horn. The wipers are inoperable and the spare tire is present but flat. Under the hood, you’ll find the 1,798cc Inline 4 cylinder and attached to the engine is a 4-speed manual transmission. The car sits upon a set of UK manufactured Minilite style wheels mounted with period correct 165R14 tires. This is truly an awesome MG! The VIN is GHN5UJ456366G and the mileage currently shows 70,076. It is being sold on a clean and clear title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
