1971 MG B

Fun little sportster convertible.

My girlfriend purchased and had off of body professionally restored for nearly $7k.

Just about everything works.

New aftermarket stereo.

Owned for less than a year.

Selling because I’m too tall, it’s impractical for our big family, and if I sell it I can use the money for Precious Plastic machines. Check them out
