I have owned, serviced, and restored British sports cars for almost 50 years. I drove an MGA, Triumph TR3, Spitfire, and GT6 to high school in the early ‘70s. I restored a ’54 MGTF ground up and have refurbished dozens of British cars including MGTD, MGTC, TR4, and TR6. I know these cars as well as anyone and can attest that this 1980 MGB LE is a rare original example of the highly desirable MGB Limited Edition model.
