1975 MG MGB Roadster (Dammerman Collection) #242

The MG is the classic English sports roadster, the car that introduced Americans to sports cars after WWII. The B was the final version of the MG line to experience wide acceptance in this country.

This car is an excellent example of a late model version of the MGB with a wonderful red paint job, black interior with bucket seats and a matching black top. A rear luggage rack makes this MG ideal for a weekend trip.

With a 1.8-liter straight 4 and 4-speed synchromesh gearbox this is a peppy and responsive roadster meant to be driven with spirit. It stops just as well with Girling front disc brakes.

By 1975 the MG B engine switched to using Stromberg carburetors to help meet U.S. emission controls. The wheels are the standard Rubery Owen's pressed steel units.

MG's are a popular and affordable collector car with parts and upgrades readily available plus support from a number of clubs for MGs and English sports cars
