Description for MG MGB 1980

To start with. let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However. for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money. I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself. I am not a dealer. just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle and classic cars. For my work. I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and have worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also. please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1. 09) transactions. Many of those have been muscle and classic cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada. England. France. Switzerland and Australia. Here is some information/history on this rare 1980 MGB Limited Edition model. The Limited Edition was a marketing endeavor between B-L and the U. S. distributorship in Leonia. NJ to boost slipping sales in the North American Market. The production period of the North American version “LE” was 1979-1980. When asked how it was that it was assured that the cars were always black. it was stated that there was an agreement between “Leonia” and all North American dealers that the “LE kit” would be only installed on black cars and to buy a black car of that time period. it had to be a Limited Edition only. There were 6. 68 produced in the two years of production. The ironic thing about the “LE kit” is that it is partially made up of parts manufactured in the U. S. The front air dam and luggage rack were made in the U. S. and then shipped over to England for packing into a kit that was then shipped back to the U. S. with the cars selected to be “LE”s. which were then installed by the selling dealer. This is why some “LE”s do not have a luggage rack. The dealer no doubt pulled it from the kit to put on another customer’s non-LE car. As the B-L listing (below) shows. the following items make the Limited Edition unique as compared to the other MGB models of that time period. It must be also noted that the North American model came only in the “Tourer” body style and not the GT. · Front air dam · L. E. Five spoke alloy wheels. manufactured by GKN. with MG hub center appliqués · Silver lower body stripes · Luggage rack · Leather covered. padded. three spoke steering wheel with a special center hub. This uses the same MG applique as the wheels · A Limited Edition dash plaque installed on the glove box Items NOT part of the kit. as has been stated by some people. is Cocoa floor mats. overdrive. or air conditioning unit.
