Vehicle description
Completely refurbished by British Motor Trade specialists in 2015, this 1978 MG MGB in Carmine Red features a comprehensive restoration that included engine and gearbox rebuilds. Wire wheels mounted on 14" rims wear 185/70R14 tires while the convertible body style includes both a black canvas soft top and matching black fiberglass hard top. Chrome bumpers frame the classic British roadster proportions, and the repainted Carmine Red finish maintains its luster. Tan vinyl interior features bucket seats with console-mounted shifter for the manual transmission. Radio delete panel keeps the dashboard clean while maintaining the original British aesthetic. Door panels, carpet, and dash components were all renewed during the comprehensive refurbishment. Interior appointments focus on driving essentials with the convertible top mechanism and controls within easy reach of the driver. The 1800 CC four-cylinder engine received a complete rebuild alongside the clutch and gearbox during the 2015 restoration. Weber carburetor feeds the rebuilt powerplant while upgraded headers connect to a single exhaust system with aftermarket muffler. Power disc brakes handle stopping duties up front. Coil spring front suspension with sway bar works with leaf spring rear suspension, and the steering rack was renewed during the mechanical restoration.
