owning one of these is on my bucket list
Get one, they're not rare, and cheap for a classic car! You just gotta be a reasonably skilled, patient mechanic with a decent tool set (NOT metric!). Old is old after all; any classic needs constant care and feeding. #1 enemy is RUST. But online support, parts supplies, and brotherhood are incredible with these cars. I love my '72 B/GT to bits
Had one before he was in a very good condition inside out and always put in a garage on winter! I sold it 2.5x more than I pay for and the meter came back to zéro! 🤣 It was fast powerful and fun to drive...years later I am driving à miata!😁
This is the car I learned to drive in and my first car in high school. I remember it well. Had a small trunk that was just enough space to fit the toolbox that was required to drive it anywhere around town, but still loved it. Emerald green and temperamental.
My dad had one of these and listening to one again brought back so many childhood memories.
Love the British roadsters!
It's such a fun car to drive. I fell in love, the first time I drove it. I want to buy one, badly. But I'm not a mechanic, and I know these cars require constant maintenance.
You can learn it though if you are willing to put in the time. I started with virtually no knowledge of cars or restoration before working on my project Fiero, had been sitting for 23 years and wasn't even running, but I managed to get it running and driving again just recently. If you are willing to shop around and do the job right, costs should not be so much of an issue as well. You have to truly love working on your car and especially the car itself though.
owned mine since April 2020, have put well over 2/3000 miles on it in that time frame (including a 1500) mile road trip, other than frequent oil checks and preventative maintenance such as replacing a shoddy radiator it has never broken down on me nor have I needed it to be put in for expensive and long term repairs! treat them well and they will treat you well.
Despite the amount of maintenance and little oil messages, miss owning an MGB.
Me too, been looking at the ones for sale online lately. I had two mgb's but might even try something older.
What a sound! Music to my ears!
sounds sooooo good
yeah we need more this vidéos classic cars & muscel cars
This is so great! More classics would be awesome!
please do more of these videos!!
My Godfather used to take me for rides in his '78 MGB. It was so much fun. The same color as well.
Brilliant!! If you can do more videos on mg's please👍
Omg it's so gorgeous😍
Sagging rear springs on this one! Looks awful from the side because of it...still love them though. My first was a 1980...still have it
Older motors sound better by default it seems. And then you have some of today's engines which are refined but sound like shit
Or they play fake engine noises through the speakers :( How dare they!?
magic of carburetors
exhaust?
Wish I knew. Sounds similar to mine, but slightly quieter. Mine's a Tourist Trophy Stainless Steel. This also sounds larger and throatier than stock. Perhaps a Bell Stainless Steel???
the MGB motor has a very long stroke, result is gobs of low end torque and a deep throaty sound, no Asian fart can noises from these!
The exhaust doesn't sound stock (if it is ignore this), if anyone knows what it is, please say
It is stock but they clearly removed the front resonator/muffler (which when installed takes away the low growl). They just welded a straight pipe back to the rear muffler.
More classic cars please
If I had my way there would be a MGB in nearly every garage haha, like there was when I was little - they were everywhere!
The second driver (1:13 onwards) could use some lessons on how to downshift going into the corners. At 3:40 he brakes going into the corner, slowing to 20mph then shifts into third coming out. He did this on all the corners......bad for clutch and the engine. Should have let the lady drive.
that intial clutch engagement and the shifting at the beggining of the video is just awful
Um no it was just fine.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 I guess we have a very different idea of what would be considered "just fine" my friend
@@pikachupowers Well, he took off and got on the road just like all the others did before him. This is not the Daytona.
Where in Michigan is this?
1978 oMG
Thought you had to double clutch them?
Nah. Synchros in all 4 gears in the later ones. Even the early ones had synchros in 2-4. No double-clutching necessary.
Let out the parts were they had to rebuild the engine.
Warum hat der Wagen vorne ein deutsches Nummernschild ?
And ?
is this the DEFAULT sound?
can you please review the 2013 dodge dart limited multiair turbo? I'm getting that car and would like to know ore about it
Why the tacky aftermarket steering wheel and gear lever?
those aren’t aftermarket dumbass
Second
old skewl
It's a shame you had to have those horrible massive plastic bumpers, it ruins the looks
