This attractive coupe bodystyle of the MGB, designed in part by Pininfarina, lasted through mid-1974. Though it does not provide the open motoring experience of the MGB, the GT is a very practical and stylish 2+2 worth considering. Pre-1975 MGBs have the best power and handling, while 1975-1980 roadsters offer great comfort and affordability. All Bs are easy-to-maintain, fun-to-drive British sports car bargins. Reproduction floor pans and rocker panels (as well as every other body panel and mechanical and interior part) are available, making them easy and cheap to restore.

Yes there is some, and I tried to take pics to show it. It can be fixed, and it needs paint anyway. There is a key scratch on the driver's side. The interior is original, so at 40 years old it needs work. Wheels should be replaced with bolt-ons because no one wants to mess with the wire wheels. The best thing about this car is the engine. It has low mileage and previous owner spent a lot to upgrade. Transmission also feels tight. Front suspension rebuilt with quality parts. Needs work on rear, but I am including the parts needed. Fun to drive Come to South Austin and see it. If you are serious about it, I will let you drive. Reserve has been met, so it will be sold. I really hate to let it go, but going through divorce, so you know... :-(
