The MGB entered the market as a two-door sports car produced from 1962 to 1980 by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland, as a four-cylinder sports car with soft top. Later variants such as the MGB GT three-door 2+2 coupe (1965-1980), the six-cylinder sports car and coupe MGC (1967-1969), and the eight-cylinder 2+2 coupe, the MGB GT V8 (1973- 76) entered the market.
This 1979 MGB began life in the UK and was professionally built by a specialist as/with Sebring specification like the Works MGBs. It was imported to the Netherlands in 2011 and used only for touring in the summer. The condition of the car is excellent in all areas and it really is in like-new condition. Extremely well maintained.
Many people do not know that an Alloy Rover V8 is lighter than the original 4-cylinder engine with twice the power, making for a very drivable, reliable and easy to drive car. An ideal affordable all-round historic high-performance car.
