This 1980 MGB will exceed the expectations of anyone interested in a sports car of this vintage. While others tout their MGB as having "...the original factory paint color" this vehicle has the original factory paint! There has been no body or paintwork ever performed on this Limited Edition model and the vehicle looks, and drives, like brand new.

The MGB has had only two female owners; the original owner kept the vehicle until 1995 and it was then passed to another family member who recently decided to sell since the car had been in the garage for many years and never driven. In fact the vehicle has been driven only about 400 miles in the past 7 years! As can be recognized by the high paint quality, this car has never been left outside its entire life.

The Auto Store of Stuart has prepared this vehicle for retail sale to ensure that its new owner will have absolutely no problems of any kind. The engine, transmission, clutch, and brakes are all in excellent condition with no repairs or maintenance needed. The vehicle is 100% rust-free as would be expected for a car that has lived in a garage its entire life-span. To prepare this vehicle properly, all of the following was done within the past month to make the MGB as perfect as possible:

  • A complete tune-up was performed including new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, carburetor adjustment, v-belt, etc. The valves were adjusted to their proper specifications.
  • The vehicle was professionally detailed and simply looks like new
  • The seats had a small stitching problem and were replaced with new
  • The convertible top was a bit discolored from age and was replaced with new
  • All electrical connections were renewed so that everything works exactly as designed
  • The Pioneer radio/cassette system is original and works perfectly
  • Both the fuel pump and alternator were replaced with new
  • The tires are in excellent condition
  • An independent MGB specialist was consulted and declared this vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition, both mechanically and aesthetically

The new owner will have nothing to do but simply drive and enjoy this wonderful automobile! Please view all of the photos below to fully understand how perfect this 1980 MGB Limited Edition model really is.

You will be bidding with safety since our policy, as outlined below, states that if you are not pleased with your purchase after inspecting the vehicle and before taking delivery, for any reason, we will gladly cancel the transaction with no questions asked. It is our desire to have only happy customers and we will do whatever it takes to meet, or exceed, every customer's expectations.

Many of the vehicles we sell through the Internet are delivered to the customer without them ever seeing the car and every customer has been 100% satisfied with their car and our dealership. We have arranged open and enclosed trucking to all sections of the country for prices that are much less expensive than the customer expects.

We look forward to earning your business at The Auto Store of Stuart. Please call, or email, if you have any questions.

Why Buy From The Auto Store of Stuart?

The Auto Store of Stuart maintains a business philosophy unlike any other licensed automobile dealership and this philosophy is based on the owner’s 40 years of successful experience in the industry. It is really quite simple but, the truth is, it can only be followed by a dealership that is very small and very unique. That leaves out about 90% of all the dealerships in the country but for you, the consumer, that doesn’t matter.

Our in-stock inventory is extremely small and we are proud of that. Most dealerships boast about their 100’s or 1,000’s of cars in stock at any given moment … at The Auto Store we never have more than 5. So what does this mean for you and how is this beneficial from your viewpoint?

Each vehicle we sell is hand-selected and must meet our most rigid of standards. We maintain an absolute rule that no car can remain in inventory for more than 14 days. The majority of our sales come from prior customers who “order” their used vehicle to their exact specifications and we then find the right car for them. While searching for these vehicles, we come across a very select few cars that meet our criteria and are then purchased for our own inventory.

The average, well-run automobile dealership will hold a used vehicle in inventory for a maximum of 60 days. To let them sit any longer would be fool hardy and to move them quicker is too cumbersome because of the dealership’s size. During that 60 day period the dealership must pay interest on the vehicle’s acquisition cost, keep it clean, continually advertise the unit and then pay a salesperson a commission to sell it. All of these extra dollars must be recovered, along with a reasonable profit, from the ultimate purchaser of the car. By now you are probably starting to realize why our plan is different and saves the customer a tremendous amount of money. Let’s review:

  1. We sell only vehicles that are hand selected by the dealership’s owner.
  2. Due to the low inventory level at The Auto Store, our inventory does not have to be financed resulting in no interest costs to recover.
  3. By selling every vehicle within a 14 day period, our capital is always available for new purchases with no need to finance.
  4. Each vehicle is advertised once rather than for 60 days at a very high cost.
  5. The vehicle is sold by the owner thereby incurring no commission expense.
  6. And, the most important reason for our low prices, we do not have a large, fancy highway location with huge buildings and storage lots. The Auto Store of Stuart, due to their low inventory levels, can operate from a small office warehouse that is not located directly on a busy highway.

Our criteria for buying vehicles is very simple:

  • The unit must be a very popular model with the best color combinations and in prime condition.
  • The car must have total mileage of average, or below, for the year of the vehicle.
  • The car cannot have been in any prior accidents or problems and it must have a “squeaky-clean” AutoCheck and/or CarFax report.
  • It must be priced correctly to be sure our customers get a great deal when the car is purchased from us.
  • The vehicle must have been a “non-smoker” vehicle

    That’s it … simple and easy to understand. Thank you for reading about our dealership and I look forward to adding your name to our long list of happy and satisfied customers.
