1976 MGM Roadster
This is a nice driver-quality MGB roadster, which is in very nice mechanical condition and has a lot of appeal. The 1800cc engine runs well and pulls strong once it's warmed up. The 4-speed manual is smooth and strong in each gear. The market is always strong for these fun and sporty convertibles, and they carry a large following among the car enthusiasts.
Production of the MGB began in October 1962 just after the production of the MGA had ceased. Though often referred to as a roadster, the MGB had roll-up windows, outside door handles, and vent wings.
A Mark II version was added in 1967, and the car stayed in production until 1980, becoming one of the most successful British sports cars of all time, with a total of over 300,000 cars being exported to the US alone. The classic MGB's continued the stronghold that MG had over the market of small roadsters that began after World War II. With great styling and handling, featuring a better suspension than MGA's, the MGB continued to gain popularity in the US. The year 1975 marked the 50th anniversary for MG.
