Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
The MG MGB is the quintessential British sports car of its era and was made available in several different versions from the British manufacturer, ranging from an open roadster to a three-door 2+2 coupe, along with a variety of engine sizes.
After The MGB’s initial introduction in September 1962, numerous incremental improvements and upgrades were made until the final roadster rolled off the production line in 1980. To commemorate 18 years of MGB, a special Limited Edition model was created for the 1979 and 1980 model years. All Limited Edition models rolled out of the Abingdon, England, assembly plant finished in black with unique silver graphics on the side and featured a plaque on the dashboard designating its LE pedigree.
MG courted potential buyers with a farewell promise: “The edition is Limited, the fun isn’t.”
