This 1980 MGB Roadster is said to have been purchased new by the current owner and now shows 41k miles. It is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive and is finished in Russet Brown over beige vinyl. Equipment includes a Black soft top, a single Weber carburetor, front disc brakes, 14″ wire-spoke wheels, black rubber bumpers, a cabin heater, and an AM/FM stereo. Work since 2023 included changing the oil, overhauling the clutch hydraulics and brakes, and replacing the rear muffler. This MGB is offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, a tool kit, service records, and a clean Minnesota title in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in Russet Brown and features a black convertible top, a Euro-style front plate, door-mounted mirrors, black rubber bumpers, and rear mud flaps.
Silver-finished 14″ wire-spoke wheels are secured to the hubs with octagonal knock-off spinners and are mounted with General Altimax RT tires manufactured in 2012. A spare wheel and tire are housed in the trunk. The factory suspension featured a raised ride height, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Work in 2023 included replacing the front brake pads and rear brake hoses, wheel cylinders, and shoes.
The bucket seats are upholstered in beige vinyl that extends to the door panels. Appointments include a cabin heater, a center console, and an RCA AM/FM stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 41k miles.
The 1.8-liter inline-four features a single Weber carburetor and an aluminum Pierce intake manifold. The oil was changed and the rear muffler was replaced in 2023. The air pump has been removed and the system is plugged.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and the clutch hose and hydraulic cylinders were replaced in 2023. Corrosion is visible on various underside components.
