MGB Roadster

Launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1962, the MGB is a two seater sports car manufactured and marketed by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later British Leyland. The MGB brought MG’s sports cars into the modern day, with its attractive slab-sided roadster body. Remaining in production until 1980 the MGB was Britain’s most successful sports car. The B utilised a monocoque chassis instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction used on both the MGA, MG T-Types and the MGB’s rival, the Triumph TR series. Powered by British Leyland’s 95bhp B-Series engine the MGB offered spritely performance with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds.

The MGB Roadster offered here at Autostorico is a May 1970 registered example finished in Old English White with Red leather interior. Bought by its current owner from Moss as a near concours example back in 1998 this stunning car is believed to have been restored using a heritage shell. The car has been used sparingly since purchase and has only recently come out of long term storage. Upon its return to the road the car was recommissioned by Haileywood Specialist cars at a cost in excess of £4,500. Works have included a full mechanical overhaul, new interior carpets and leather interior. Other notable features include; 4 Speed overdrive gearbox, Wire wheels, Period badges and Tool kit.

Offered for sale with a current V5 registration document, current MOT valid until September 2019 with no advisories.
