1977 MGB Roadster
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
With a 1,798 cc four cylinder engine and four speed manual floor shift transmission. disc brakes on the front with drum brakes on the rear.
This example has received a chrome bumper conversion, with bumpers from a 1967 model. In late 1974, the chrome bumpers were replaced altogether with the steel reinforced rubber style to meet regulations. It also was found that the headlamp were too low. The fix was to raise the suspension by 1 inch. This car maintains the raised stance of regulated cars, but appears to be a pre-74 car.
