1980 MG B

KEY FACTS This MG B Roadster is a charming and engaging classic British open-top sports car, which is reportedly in highly original condition, having been kept in storage for the past 45 years. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre inline-four, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This left-hand drive example was originally a Canadian-market model, which has since been imported to Australia. The odometer indicates 395 miles, which the seller believes to be the genuine total.
