1978 MGB – This beautiful and great running MGB with 61,000 original miles has been professionally converted to be almost indistinguishable from the earlier and best looking MGB’s of the1960’s. The later model MGB’s were ugly,gutless and ill handling. This carunderwent an elaborate professional chrome bumper conversion, wire wheels, eliminationof side lights, lowered to pre-1975 height and the change to the earlier andbeautiful Mark I grill. This later MGBexample has the desirable refinements that made the car run and handle so muchbetter than earlier models ---And no more ugly rubber bumpers. Original paintand no rust. Engine still has 75 psi oilpressure when warm.
