1979 MG B ROADSTER
LMCT 7819
SN:3980
HAT-TRICK CONCOURS WINNER ’17, ’18 & ’19
September 1974 marked the Introduction of the Single Largest Update to the then, 12 Year Old MG B. To Meet the Ever Tightening American Design Rules, the MG B was Fitted with Steel Reinforced Black Rubber Bumpers Front and Rear, the Ride Height was Raised by 1”, the Dual Circuit Braking System was Uprated with the Fitment of a Brake Booster and the Cooling System was also Improved.
This Vermilion Red Example was Built and Dispatched to California USA in January 1979, but Managed to Find it’s Way to Australia, where it was Restored Over Many Years, Resulting in Class Wins at the Victorian MG Car Club Concours in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
The Large History File Accompanying the MG B Details Expenses from 2011 to Current Day, Showing the Magnitude of Effort that was Required to Bring the MG Up To and Maintain the Concours Winning Standard.
Unlike the Earlier Rubber Bumper MG B’s, this 1979 B is Fitted with the Factory Revised Suspension Geometry, Allowing the Taller Ride Height, Without Compromising Road-Holding, while Further Improving the Ride through Greater Suspension Travel and Ground Clearance.
