Why This Car Is Special

The 1971 MG MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed by the British Motor Corporation later British Leyland, as a four-cylinder, soft-top roadster from 1962 until 1980.

A stark contrast from the big and heavy American muscle cars of the 60 s and 70 s, this 1971 MG MGB we have here at Skyway Classics has the pep under the hood to compliment the light and nimble frame.

It is painted in yellow with a black convertible top, inline-four engine, correct chrome wire wheels, upgraded radio, and a 4-speed manual transmission with an overdrive.
