This is one of my toys. It's a fully restored 1980 MGB. I bought this car for $500 and spent the last 2 years bringing it back to life.

It is the last year they made these cars, and is blue with a black interior and black top.

Has been converted to the dual SU carbs and the car came with the overdrive tranny (rare option on this car)

It was originally a California car, so it was pretty much rust free with a great body when I got it, just needed some minor work.

Thought I would share.

I love the car and always have loved old MGs and MGBs. I don't care for the wheel, though. But overall you get a thumbs up from me. Later, QD.

do you have a valance/lip installed onthe front of your car, or that a factory look? it looks really good. so since you have an overdrive tranny, i guess no b210's were harmed in the building of this car.

The valance is NOT stock, it is an aftermarket option you can buy from MOSS Motors. I got that valance used for like $20 because it had some fiberglass cracks in it. However, since I know how to do some minor body work, I was able to repair it.

Be careful, If you look at those SUs wrong they'll be out of tune.

That's part of the joys of a British car
