There are not many better ways to enjoy a warm summer day and a twisting country road than from behind the wheel of a traditional British sports car. This 1977 MGB represents the last of the breed a wonderful foray into a time when the cars were elemental and pure and the driving experience wasn't measured on a clock but by the size of the grin on your face. The MGB is one of those cars that everyone loves and one look at this handsome two-tone specimen will tell you all you need to know. Its compact proportions are ideally suited to carrying two passengers but with little extra fat to steal performance. The taut bodywork is an evolutionary design that by 1977 had grown the large rubber front bumper/grille assembly giving it a more aggressive look that was pure 1970s cool. The two-tone paint scheme on this example uses the body molding as a break point neatly wrapping around the headlights and visually lowering the car. There's no sign of rust or other typical MGB issues and the fit and finish is arguably better than new. The chrome trunk rack is something you'll undoubtedly find useful and the traditional 3-element taillight lenses remain in excellent condition. The black interior is in beautiful condition showing no major wear on any of the soft components. Even the driver's seat is firm and supportive with a woven vinyl seat cover that apparently wears like stone as it shows zero signs of use. Black carpets are deep and rich and untouched by UV fading and the door panels remain taut. MG experts may note that this is a factory A/C car an extremely rare option in an MGB and all the original A/C components are included with the car although they are not currently installed. All the gauges appear original and the original radio has been upgraded to a Pioneer AM/FM/cassette unit with new speakers. New seals have been installed so this MGB closes up tighter than you'd expect and it offers a folding black convertible top that can be stowed from the driver's seat. The thrill of a British sports car is not in its sheer power and speed but in one's ability to use most of the car's performance envelope without worry. The MG's 1.8 liter inline-four makes modest power but plenty of torque and the most wonderful sound aggressive at idle and a fantastic tenor bellow at full throttle. Handling is light thanks to a well-sorted suspension with recent shocks as well as the modest curb weight. The engine bay remains neat and clean the chassis is rust-free and solid and that exhaust system I mentioned is brand new. Four 175/70/14 radials have been fitted to the original wheels for a timeless look. MGB fans know how wonderful these are yet how difficult solid ones are to find. This one is ready to have fun for not a lot of money. Call today! This vehicle is located in our Atlanta showroom. For more information please call or toll free . $9,995
