Description
1979 MGB Roadster. 1800cc. MOT Exempt. Free Road Tax. Overdrive. Superb Condition. Great Driver.
A genuine two owner Northern Ireland car from new. First owner: 1979 to 1982.Second owner: 1982 to 2025. The second owner was active and known on the local rally scene during the 1960s, and his mechanical skills ensured the MGB was maintained to a high standard throughout his long term ownership.
On the road, she performs exceptionally well and is undoubtedly one of the tightest MGB Roadsters I have driven. With excellent oil pressure, the engine runs quietly and pulls strongly, the gearbox with overdrive operates smoothly and precisely, and the brakes are excellent.
With just 59,000 warranted miles, the exterior presents very well, with glossy paintwork and a good overall finish. The hood is as new and she comes with a tonneau cover. The wheels and tyres are in good condition with no serious marks or damage.
The interior is equally impressive, the seats, carpets, door cards, and dashboard are in excellent order. The engine bay, boot, and underside are tidy and well cared for, with nothing that appears to require immediate attention.
Currently in Northern Ireland, she comes with a standard UK V5, so can be driven anywhere in the UK with no need for reregistration or import duties. Her long term N.I. ownership also makes her suitable for export to the Republic of Ireland. Delivery can be arranged anywhere in the UK or Ireland at very reasonable rates.
The MGB was launched in 1962 as a replacement for the MGA and quickly became one of the UK and Irelands best loved sports cars. With its clean styling, lively 1.8 litre engine, and monocoque construction, the MGB offered excellent performance and handling for its time.
Production continued until 1980, by which time more than half a million had been built.Please note shes fast approaching her 47th birthday, and like any classic car, there may be areas needing attention or room for improvement. However, on this example, any such issues appear manageable through regular maintenance and ongoing care, with nothing apparent requiring immediate attention.
HPI CHECK. No known outstanding finance, mileage discrepancies, or insurance records of damage or theft.
