This is a rare opportunity to own an interesting icon that has been exceptionally preserved. This 1979 MGB is a genuine Limited Edition model that's a documented actual miles machine with original paint, a stock interior, and a time capsule under the hood. And because this true classic is also a nimble British drop-top, it has the kind of attitude that's just begging to hit the road.
The Limited Edition cars are an in-demand item. It was a triple-black presentation right from the factory, and less than 6,800 were made over a two-year run. Collectors look for this car, especially one like this where the paint is believed to be the same application the Abingdon factory applied over 40 years ago! And since we don't always see this level of gloss and shine even from a resprayed black, you know this car has been treated with care. The silver striping package is a special design reserved for the Limited Edition cars, and in fact, it connects this style to even rarer LE cars that only stayed in England. So British car fans really do know this one is something special. Other distinct features of these LE cars are the deep chin spoiler and a luggage rack. And those special five-spoke alloys were a true calling card for these special edition convertibles.
The black convertible top looks original, and beneath is a full black interior. It not only gives you the ultra-desirable triple-black appearance (paint, roof, and interior), but this one also shows a well-done preservation. The main components are believed to be original, and while these MGBs are known for inexpensive replacement parts, there's no need to update things like the bucket seats when they look this good. Even details like the courtesy light is still working. And because the LE is a premium convertible, you even have features like the correct dealer-installed air conditioning unit (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) There are more nice stock pieces, like the armrest center console, Smiths gauges, and the Limited Edition glovebox plaque. But because this classic also likes being a better modern drive, you also have the right well-placed upgrades. There's a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel for proper grip, and the AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input gives you the best in upgraded driving music.
The engine bay has a great vintage look, right down to the correct Zenith carburetor. In fact, this 1.8-liter motor's date code is correct for us to believe this is the original powerhouse. More than just originality, you'll like this engine because it fires up with the kind of confidence that reaffirms the car's feeling of proper care. The four-speed manual transmission gives you good control over the full power package. And speaking of control, this MGB's nimble handling, power brakes, front discs, and modern Firestone Firehawk tires make for a very sharp sports car.
Complete with owner's manual and service manuals, this is the mixture of originality, care, and features you've been looking for. So don't miss a great driver at a great price. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
