1978 MGB MKII 2

• The John Player Special (JPS) edition was a limited-production version of the MG B, inspired by the Lotus John Player Special Formula 1 cars of the 1970s.
• Only 1,000 JPS MG Bs were produced, making them relatively rare and sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Features:

• Black paint with gold accents
• Gold wheels
• JPS logo on the side

• Four-speed manual transmission
• The John Player Special edition of the MG B is considered one of the most desirable versions of the car.
