1979 MG B - Lot 64
1979 MG B Series: GHN5UL482314G Canadian registration Customs cleared vehicle certificate 846 A To be registered as a collector By the early 1950s, the iconic British Morris Garage was lagging behind its competitors in terms of both technology and design. To renew the range, engineer Albert Sydney Evener took charge of development at MG. His success led to the launch of the MG B. Launched in 1962, this roadster was also available in a GT version from 1965. Its initial engine was a BMC B-Series in-line 4-cylinder with 1.8 L displacement, with twin S.U. carburetors. There were four different versions of this model, the successive MK1, MK2, MK3 and MK4. In terms of bodywork, the initial model was modified from 1975 onwards, in particular to comply with new American regulations. Polyurethane bumpers were added, the ground clearance was raised by three centimeters, and the engine was "depolluted". Production of the legendary MG B thus ceased in 1980, and the MG A and MG B would remain the world's most produced convertibles for some years to come. The example we're offering for sale is one of the last to be produced, with chrome bumpers in keeping with the car's original style, installed by the previous Canadian owner. Recently imported, the car is sound and runs well. All that remains is to register it in France. 1979 MG B Series: GHN5UL482314G Canadian registration Customs cleared vehicle certificate 846 A To be registered as a collector By the early 1950s, the iconic British Morris Garage was lagging behind its competitors in terms of both technology and design.
