Description
Repainted in outstanding
metallic Blue in 2019; overdrive; wire wheels and chrome bumpers; receipts
showing some of the work carried out over the
years
First registered in June 1973,
this attractive MGB Roadster is finished in Metallic Blue, having been
professionally repainted from its original red in May 2019. The smart exterior
is complemented by a black leatherette interior with contrasting red piping,
giving the car a sporting and classic appearance.
Powered by the
ever-popular 1,798cc B-Series engine, this example is fitted with the desirable
four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, making it well suited to both relaxed
touring and everyday classic motoring. The car has had 15 former keepers and has
been in the current ownership since October 2021.
The history file
includes a selection of invoices documenting previous maintenance and
expenditure. The odometer currently displays 27,692 miles, although this reading
cannot be warranted.
The MGB was driven over 30
miles to our site, where it started readily and performed exactly as expected
during photography and filming, driving, stopping and running well
throughout.
A smartly presented
chrome-bumper MGB with desirable overdrive transmission, attractive colour
combination and proven roadworthiness, this is an appealing example of one of
Britain's best-loved classic sports cars, ready to be enjoyed by its next
owner.
