When you first catch a glimpse of the Vermilion Orange sparkling off of this 1979 MGB MKIV it oozes with early ‘80s appeal. The gold graphics give hints of the pop culture that vibrated throughout London at the time of inception of this English roadster. The car itself only has 42,675 original miles and is equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The black vinyl top has been meticulously maintained and looks nearly new. This MGB MK IV has its original trunk-mounted spare, original trunk-mounted toolkit, and includes receipts that date back to the mid-‘80s.

Throughout its production, the roadster was consistently upgraded to satisfy a younger sports car driving market while meeting American safety and emissions regulations. The car has lived in San Diego for most of its life and the exceptional weather has treated the exterior with kindness. This wonderfully maintained, light and joyful roadster makes for a great starter classic and it eagerly awaits its new home.
