Today, MG is a brand under Chinese ownership, and well-known for electric vehicles. Historically though, MG was a British brand, owned by the British Motor Corporation. MG stands for Morris Garages, so you can glean that it has its roots in the British automaker Morris. In its heyday, MG was well-known for producing British roadsters that embodied the joys of driving. The MGB was one of their best-sellers, and was made from 1962 to 1980. Four iterations (Mk. I to Mk. IV respectively) were made. This 1980 MG MGB Mk IV is from the last generation, and comes to you with just 46,000 miles under its belt. Hence, it’s a great weekend car to escape from the digital world, and enter an alternate universe, one where cars are analog and driving is fun.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a fetching black coat, this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV’s diminutive size is apparent when you park it next to a modern vehicle of 2024. Coming in at just 158 inches, it makes a modern compact car look gigantic in comparison. The car comes with a black canvas top, that’s really more cosmetic than functional. It’s meant to get you home in a relatively dry fashion should you be caught in some rain while enjoying open-top motoring. In fact, you’ll note that the car appears to have been designed to look its best top-down. The two-seat interior of this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV is similarly diminutive, with two leather-upholstered bucket seats only. This is a car best enjoyed alone, or with a like-minded passenger. It’s not a family conveyance. Hence, you won’t find many creature comforts, but there’s a heater and a push-button radio. Similarly, the car’s trunk is quite small and hosts the spare wheel, but there’s an external luggage rack for more capacity.
Engine
Pop the hood of this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV and you won’t find a V8 or even an in-line six. Instead, what greets you in a cheery fashion is a sprightly 1.8L four-cylinder engine. Thanks to the car’s small dimensions and light weight, you’ll be off in a very happy fashion, snicking through the gears of the 4-speed manual transmission and listening to the little engine’s surprisingly deep note. Meanwhile, the front and rear disc brakes will be ever-ready to bring you to a halt when required.
