1979 MGB 1-OWNER GORGEOUS LOW MILES UNRESTORED ORIGINAL

This is a 1979 4-Speed MGB that has been in the same hands since new and kept registered and driven every year of its life. It is one of the nicest unrestored MGB’s you are likely to find, it is a time capsule!

Let me go through some of the reasons this car is amazing. First of all, this car has been lovingly cared for its whole life. Ever since new it has been properly maintained and kept up. But consider this, the whole interior of this car is original, the carpets, the seats, the dashboard, EVERYTHING. And please look at the pictures, the interior is BEAUTIFUL! I was amazed to even find the cardboard dash under-liners intact (they cover the bottom of the dash and are missing on most of these cars).  The dashboard itself is like new with NO cracks. The tach takes a few seconds to warm up and then it works fine (typical of an older gauge).

On the exterior. The paint on this car is ALL ORIGINAL. There has never been a repair on the body. It has never been wrecked, or driven in the snow. It has always been garaged! The top is just a couple years old, as the plastic windows on an original top is bound to yellow over time. The car also comes with an original tonneau cover in very nice shape. The chrome trim outside is essentially perfect. The rubber bumpers have a scratch here and there, but nothing bad. The only noticeable imperfections on the body are on the RH Front fender: there are two little dents and there is a little bit of rust on the bottom (not bad, please observe the pictures). There are a few rust spots under the trunk lid and the doors (but very few, they are all pictured). The windshield is original and unscratched, could pass for new.

In the engine compartment you will find everything in good order. Notice how the paint in the engine compartment is still original, it has never been resprayed. You will even find the cardboard cover that protects the engine bay between the engine and the radiator (which was super-flimsy and is missing on most MGB’s). The emissions gear has been removed and the original carb has been replaced with a Weber. Those parts that were removed are available if you want them!

On the bottom side of the car you will notice everything in good order, there are no rust issues. The exhaust has been replaced with a header/dual tailpipe Ansa system.

The car runs beautifully and drives great! The engine starts and idles beautifully and accelerates strongly. There are no funny engine noises. The engine is finely tuned. The transmission shifts easily into and out of all gears including on the downshifts. The suspension is nice and tight and reacts well on the road and in bumpy roads. The clutch master and slave have been replaced over time and the clutch action is perfect. 

 The trunk lid has a couple of rusty spots on the inside lip (pictured and not a big deal). But the trunk has no real rust issues. In it you will find a working trunk light and the original tools, jack, and the boot cover frame pieces.

The wheels and tires are just a couple years old and they have PLENTY of miles to give. The original ROSTYLE wheels with good tires are available if you prefer!

This is a car that is on the road right now, it needs nothing to pass Massachusetts Inspection and take you on a road adventure.
