1971 MG B Convertible

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1971 MG MGB for your consideration. Powered by a peppy 1.8L inline-4 motor, power is routed to the rear wheels through a four speed manual transmission. These little British roadsters are a blast to drive as they're exceptionally engaging and offer a raw driving experience.

This example is finished in a wonderful color of deep maroon which complements the black leather interior nicely. With the quick turn of the key, the motor fires right up and quickly settles into a smooth idle. Over $4,000 of recent maintenance has been completed on this example. During the maintenance, a new radiator, distributor, brake lines, water pump, clutch slave cylinder, choke cable and more were replaced in addition to a carburetor rebuild. Records of recent maintenance are available upon request.

Production of the MGB began in October 1962 just after the production of the MGA had ceased. Though often referred to as a roadster, the MGB had roll up windows, outside door handles and vent wings. A Mark II version was added in 1967, and the car stayed in production until 1980, becoming one of the most successful British sports cars of all time, with a total of over 300,000 cars being exported to the U.S. alone. The classic MGB's continued the stronghold that MG had over the market of small roadsters than began post World War II. With great styling and handling (featuring a better suspension than MGA's) the MGBcontinued to gain popularity in the United States. 1975 marked the 50th anniversary for MG.
