For Sale: 1979 MG MGB in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description This 1979 MGB Convertible was inherited by the seller in 2008 from his deceased father, who he says was the British roadster's second owner.
As seen in the provided photos, the car was backdated with the earlier, pre-1974 chrome bumpers to replace big black plastic bumpers used on the later cars to meet U.
S.
light impact regulations.
This car retains the higher stance that MG used to meet U.
S.
lighting regulations.
The seller reports that the car was repainted in 2004, so perhaps that is when the bumper surgery was performed.
The bumper replacement would have removed about 200 pounds, always a good thing in a sports car.
The seller also reports a new interior in 2008 (seats and carpets) and an undated engine rebuild about 17,000 miles ago, at which time the odometer was reset.
The seller says, My dad owned and restored many British vehicles (MGB, MGC, MGA, Austin-Healey, etc.
).
I'm selling because I don't drive it enough.
