Find/borrow/etc. a vehicle with a trailer hitch on it. Rent one of those
Uhaul trailers that you push the front wheels up on and fasten the front
wheels to the trailer with straps. The rear end is on the ground. They're
cheap to rent. For 80 miles "I" wouldn't even bother disconnecting the
drive shaft although you could if you're overly concerned. I'm in
Cleveland and sold an MGA once to a guy in Chicago who hauled it home that
way. The B will fit fine and you won't have any problems.
