This 1979 MGB Convertible was inherited by the seller in 2008 from

　　his deceased father, who he says was the British roadster's second

　　owner. As seen in the provided photos, the car was "backdated" with

　　the earlier, pre-1974 chrome bumpers to replace big black plastic

　　bumpers used on the later cars to meet U.S. light impact

　　regulations. This car retains the higher stance that MG used to

　　meet U.S. lighting regulations. The seller reports that the car was

　　repainted in 2004, so perhaps that is when the bumper surgery was

　　performed. The bumper replacement would have removed about 200

　　pounds, always a good thing in a sports car. The seller also

　　reports a new interior in 2008 (seats and carpets) and an undated

　　engine rebuild about 17,000 miles ago, at which time the odometer

　　was reset.The seller says, "My dad owned and restored many British

　　vehicles (MGB, MGC, MGA, Austin-Healey, etc.). I'm selling because

　　I don't drive it enough."
