Hello guys! I’ve been on here on and off for about 7 years looking for another MGB (my previous was a 1977 and a bit of a rust bucket)… you guys have given me your take on a couple I’ve looked at over the last couple of weeks, much appreciated.
I found one! Advertised on here by its owner - and a 1978 MGB at the very fair price of $4500. When I went to take a look at it I think the first thing I noticed was that this car was in great shape rust wise. In fact, it may have had the best frame rails I’ve seen out of the 10-15 or so of these that I’ve looked at… especially for a northern car.
I drove it home today, and it drove fantastic. Over an hour and oil pressure looked good, gauges worked, smooth and comfortable.
I definitely have a few things to take care of, and it’s got a real homemade paint job (but whatever!). Thanks again for all the help, and here is a link to some photos:
