1978 MGB Convertible

1978 MG MGB Description

**Please do not buy this as a surprise 50th birthday gift for your wife unless she has expressly told you she wants a 1978 MGB to mark the occasion**
My husband purchased this from the original owner, a family friend. Bob bought the car new in Texas, put 28,000 miles on it, and then had a stroke which left him unable to drive a manual. The car sat in his garage until my husband, deciding I needed this for my 50th birthday, persuaded him to sell and proceeded to spare no expense in having the European Motorcar Service perform the following: Webber upgrade with electric choke, carburetor, intakes, header pipe and manifold. Belts, coolant flush, brake flush, wipers, diff fluid, gear box oil change, oil and filter change, new battery, fuel filter and a new hood blanket. It has four brand new tires. No rust. The blue paint is original. I do not know about the top except that it is good shape with clear windows. It has one clean slit, minor and presumably repairable, which is in photo. There is a cover for the top when down and a cover for the interior of car when top is down. The car starts right up, sounds great and runs well. Interior light, cigarette lighter and air conditioning all work! There are boxes of parts and assorted items which may contain window sticker, manuals and service records.

Added 4/8/2016. The work was done prior my surprise reveal. I then had the car checked over by another import guy to see what else the car needed so I could sell it in good conscious. (Seatbelts were replaced because the passenger side was moody.) It has gotten a clean bill of health from two independent and reputable mechanics. The overdrive does not work and neither mechanic recommended fooling with it unless I particularly wanted to.
