Here is a driver quality MGB Roadster from 1979.  A bit tatty, but running well.  You can call me to discuss the car in detail at (217) 253-2299 days, or (217) 550-3428 after hours.

This car runs great, very strong, and is a pleasure to drive.  The heat/defrost controls work well and the fan keeps the windscreen clear.  We drove the car on a 135 mile trip down I 57 without a hitch and more than a few thumbs ups.

The car is a Carmine Red example.  The original finish was covered a few years ago with an amateur coat of paint that is close to Carmine Red, but not correct.  The original color can be seen in the rust free trunk area. 

There is the typical spot on top of the drivers front fender that can be patched and  finished easily.  The rockers were covered with a stainless rocker panel dress up kit, so some rust surely lurks behind those covers, but the car is strong and the floors are very good.

The original interior color was tan, however, the seats in this B may not be original to the car.  They are much more comfortable than the stock seats and are in black or dark gray.  The shift knob needs replaced, as you can see.

The car is offered at a good price for a driver and would be a pretty straightforward restoration candidate.
