Footnotes

The MG B is one of the most useable and fun classic cars money can buy, and this 1978 MG B GT is no exception. Currently used as a daily driver by the vendor's wife, the car is presented in an overall good condition and is said to be running and driving well (although there is little history available). Having owned the car since 1978, the vendor has also kept the car in dry storage, so the bodywork is overall solid. An honest and original example.
