The MG B Roadster is one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built. Thanks to its timeless lines, simple yet reliable engineering and pure driving experience, this model has been a staple of the classic car world for decades.

This 1979 example is presented in older original condition and radiates authenticity. The bodywork is original and correct, with visible signs of use that match the character and age of the car. The paintwork requires repainting, offering the opportunity to finish the car further according to personal taste.

The interior is original and shows normal signs of use. The convertible top is older and dry, but currently still usable. The carpets are in used condition. The seats were replaced with bucket seats in the past. The underside is original and in an honest, correct condition.

The engine is in good, honest condition and the car represents an interesting base for enthusiasts looking for a classic British roadster with character and potential.
