The MG MGB is one of a series of fine open-topped British roadsters produced by the iconic automaker Morris Garages. Today, Morris Garages or MG is under Chinese ownership and makes a range of SUVs and sedans, but they’re working on a slick new electric roadster to recapture the spirit of yesteryear. However, the popular saying goes, there’s nothing like the original. So why not capture that spirit yourself and buy this Florida-based 1979 MG MGB Roadster from us? With a mere 74,767 miles to its name, this car has been in the custody of the same owner for 32 years and reportedly includes recent maintenance receipts as well. Join us as we take a deep dive into what’s on offer here, and don’t hesitate to call or DM us if you want to own this beauty.
Exterior and Interior
This 1979 MG MGB Roadster comes in Vermillion Red which tends towards orange but showcases its deeper red hue when you look closely. The car sits on a lowering kit and includes its signature convertible soft top with tonneau cover – after all, top-down is meant to be its primary modus operandi. The car also includes a chrome mesh grille, chrome window handles, and has undergone a chrome bumper conversion. Slide into the two-seat interior and you’ll find comfortable yet supportive black leather seats, a leather wrapped steering wheel and a comprehensive analog gauge pack. There’s no touchscreen or myriad digital distractions to keep you away from the pure act of driving with this car. There’s a radio with cassette tape player for your classic tunes, as well as a heating and ventilation system for comfort. Pop the trunk and you’ve got some decent space for a few soft bags, plus the spare tire.
Engine
The beating heart of this 1979 MG MGB Roadster is its 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, sending drive to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. Fitted for appearance, the engine is dressed up with a chrome valve cover and belt pulley. For induction, it is equipped with twin polished HS carburetors with K&N filters.
The MGB is one of Britain’s most enduring sports cars, earning a reputation for delivering open-air driving enjoyment with simple mechanicals, timeless styling, and exceptional parts availability. By 1972, the chrome-bumper MGB had reached its stride, offering refined road manners while retaining the lightweight, engaging character that made the model famous around the world. Showing 19,852 miles, this 1972 MG MGB Roadster presents beautifully in Glacier White over a black interior and represents one of the last chrome-bumper examples before federally mandated bumper changes altered the MGB’s iconic appearance. Tastefully enhanced with classic accessories while preserving its vintage charm, this British roadster is equally at home on winding back roads, weekend cruises, or local British car gatherings.
Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster quickly became one of Britain’s most successful sports cars, combining timeless styling, dependable engineering, and an engaging driving experience at an affordable price. This 1965 MG B Roadster represents the desirable early chrome-bumper era and shows just 14,351 miles on the odometer. Finished in classic Tartan Red over a black interior, this roadster retains much of its original character while benefiting from a reupholstered interior and tasteful upgrades. Whether carving through winding back roads or enjoying an open-top cruise on a sunny afternoon, this MG B delivers the simple, analog driving experience that has made it a favorite among enthusiasts for generations.
Morris Garages, or MG for short, used to be an iconic British automaker, responsible for some stunning sports cars, as well as more workmanlike family sedans. Today, the brand is owned by the Chinese and churns out mostly SUVs. The spunky sports cars of yore are no longer, save for examples like this 1975 MG MGB from Charleston, South Carolina. The MGB was made between 1962 and 1980, as the successor to the MGA. Nearly 524,000 cars were made during this time, but not many were preserved as time progressed on. So, this car, with its 75,790 miles and replaced convertible top represents not only a great way to enjoy a weekend back road blast, but a pretty darn good investment as well.
