Having lusted after MGB/Cs since I can remember, I've finally started an informal but active search for one (that is, my wife won't object anymore, so I'm keeping an eye out for one). My personal fo

Well, you can buy the stripe kit from Moss (it should be silver, not white -- look again), but I would imagine that all black 1980 models were LEs, anyway (yes, Clausager confirms this). Other than t

I'm pretty sure it was original paint. As far as "'American' limited edition", that's as I know the car, as a "limited edition", such as you can get with 6000 made, for the American market. It's as I

Well for $5K you should be able to get yourself into a nice B or a passable C from what I've seen on the Net. If you can find a C - a Roadster, then I would buy it if it's in reasonable condition. I

Thanks. I'll be willing to push $6k, but probably would have a hard time justifying anything over that (if that, particularly up here). Granted, that's for a car that's WORTH $6k. But I've seen thes

The ALE also had an air dam up front if I am not mistaken. Also should be a dash plaque identifying it as an LE. It also sported a special alloy wheel. I believe there are other identifiers, maybe a

When I get back I'll check it more closely, and try to grab the number too. There was an air dam, I do remember that, but other models had air dams too.

I have cosmetically created LE - it was a '78 burgundy MGB roadster. Now it's still '78 (!), black, and has the following LE items: Air dam Steering wheel Road wheels Dash plaque Stripes Luggage rack

an anymore, line location...any search state. very I guess it is all in 'how bad I want it'. I sold an '80 B in 1989 (that I had bought new) for $4500. At the time it had 45k miles. I recently ran a

Book value is but one factor with these things. As you said, it's all "how bad you want it". I'm probably going to keep looking. Black is better than none, but I'd be really frustrated to get the Bla
