Finished in British Racing Green with a tan interior and matching soft top, this 1977 MGB Roadster is a solid and usable classic with excellent mechanicals. The 1.8L engine starts easily, runs strong, and shows good oil pressure. The gearbox shifts smoothly with no grinding or pop-out.

Interior presents well with clean seats, newer carpets, a crack-free dash, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. All gauges are working. The engine bay is clean and tidy, showing signs of regular care, and includes a spin-on oil filter, new alternator, updated hoses, and cobalt ignition wires. Trunk is clean with spare included.

Paint is driver-quality with numerous chips and blemishes. Some rust is present on the lower front driver’s fender and chassis (see images), but the undercarriage is otherwise solid. The car retains its Triplex windshield and door glass. Currently on wire wheels. A new emergency brake cable is included, though the handbrake is currently inoperative.

A great-running classic MGB that’s enjoyable as-is and ready for continued use and light restoration.
