Vehicle Description

Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1980 MG MGB Limited Edition Roadster – 35K Original Miles – California Car – Black with Caramel Interior - 4 Speed Transmission with Overdrive. A true British sports car icon, this 1980 MG MGB Roadster is a very nice driver quality all-original California car showing just over 35,000 original miles and finished in its factory-correct black exterior over a caramel vinyl bucket seat interior. As one of the final production-year MGBs and a desirable Limited Edition example, this car represents the end of one of the most successful and beloved sports car production runs in automotive history. Produced from 1962 through 1980, the MGB became one of the best-selling sports cars of all time, with over 500,000 units built. The 1980 model marked the final year of production, making these late cars especially collectible among enthusiasts who appreciate the final evolution of the classic Abingdon-built roadster. Power comes from MG’s proven 1.8-liter (1798cc) inline 4-cylinder engine featuring the factory single Zenith-Stromberg carburetor setup, designed to meet U.S. emissions standards while maintaining the dependable drivability and spirited character the MGB is known for. Factory output was approximately 62 horsepower with strong low-end torque, paired to the highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission with factory overdrive, making highway cruising significantly more enjoyable and relaxed than standard gearbox cars. This Limited Edition Roadster retains its original character throughout and presents very well with excellent body lines, solid structure, and a clean undercarriage showing only the typical light surface rust expected and shown on honest original examples. The black paint is in very good condition with some imperfections and spider cracking as shown . The car is equipped with the classic chrome luggage rack and factory wheels, giving the car outstanding vintage roadster presence. Interior condition is also in good condition, featuring clean caramel vinyl bucket seats, factory dash layout, aftermarket AM/FM radio for added enjoyment, MG floor mats, and a clean trunk complete with spare tire and jack. A new matching black manual convertible top has recently been installed, and the car also includes the matching boot cover, tonneau cover, and car cover—everything needed for top-down touring or protected storage. The car has been used sparingly and starts, runs, and drives as expected for a well-preserved collector example. As part of normal routine servicing for a classic British sports car, we recommend a standard tune-up including carburetor adjustment and timing calibration to optimize smoothness and drivability. Currently stored in Massachusetts and offered with a clean Massachusetts title in the owner’s name, this final-year MGB is an excellent opportunity to own a low-mileage, highly original, desirable overdrive-equipped example of one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars. Affordable, collectible, and endlessly enjoyable, this 1980 MGB Limited Edition Roadster is ready for weekend drives, local shows, and open-road enjoyment. Call Jeff to arrange a viewing.
