For Sale: 1979 MG B MKIII Roadster – 66K Miles – Barn Find Classic

Second-owner 1979 MG B MKIII Roadster, dual carb, with only 66,000 original miles. A true barn find – this beauty has been tucked away in storage since 2002, waiting for the right person to bring her back to life.

🛠 History & Condition:

Originally purchased from State Farm Insurance due to a minor fender bender by the first owner.

Right front fender was professionally replaced in 2002.

Since then, the car has not been driven – it’s been sitting indoors for more than 20 years.

💡 The Good:

Engine and leather interior are in excellent condition.

Was running great before being stored.

Only needs basic TLC to be road-ready again:

New tires

Carbs cleaned

Fresh fuel filter

General fluid check and cleanup

Estimated ~$1,000 worth of work to get it cruising again.

🔧 Why It’s a Great Deal:

Restored examples of this model are currently selling for $15,000–$20,000. This is a rare opportunity to own a classic British roadster at a fraction of the cost – with minimal effort to bring it up to full value.
