About this car

A 1980 MGB roadster from the rubber-bumper era, finished in Vermillion with red leather seats. The late cars are often overlooked next to the chrome-bumper originals, which keeps prices accessible for a usable classic.

It was restored in 1999, with a substantial round of mechanical work carried out around 2015 and 2016. The dealer reports a good hood, sound body and paint, and an overdrive that works. It is described as running well and comes with a current MOT and a large history file.
