The 1972 model year represents the best of both worlds in the MGB timeline: it retains the clean chrome bumpers and classic dashboard design before the federal safety changes of the later years, while benefiting from engineering improvements made since the model’s 1960s debut. This particular example is a turn-key classic that needs nothing but a new owner to enjoy it.

Disclosure: the current owner has never driven the car in the rain. Thus the top is wrinkled. There is a small thumbnail size tear in the top.
