Description
Good example
of one of the last MGB Limited Editions with tons of history
The
last 1,000 MGBs were completed in October 1980 and designated the Limited
Edition. Just 420 of them were Roadsters so they are not something you see every
day.
This particular LE, presented in the typical
bronze metallic paintwork with orange/brown/black trim, rolled out of the
factory in November 1980 and was first registered in Yorkshire, according to the
Heritage Certificate on file. The first owner appears to have clocked up about
60,000 miles in it, while having it regularly serviced until it changed hands
for the first time in about 1990.
Bills on file record a considerable
amount of work done then by MG specialists, Kimber Classic Ltd, which included a
new hood, boot panel, rear wing, front wings, re-trimming in places and a
respray.
Services are further recorded at 66,000,
80,000, 98,688, 99,310 and 101,100 miles bringing it right up to 2019 with about
its 7th keeper. The wire wheels were fitted in approximately
2022.
Our vendor purchased the car in February
2023 and has had a tow bar fitted, new radiator, new clutch, refilled front
seat foams, new rubber seals around the windscreen and the hood and frame has
been amended to fit more snugly.
The extensive
history file has various previous logbooks, MOTs and a great bundle of bills
going back many years. It is only being offered for sale due to ill
health and presents a great opportunity to own one of the very
last MGBs.
