Black leather interior with wood-rimmed wheel
Factory Rostyles with spare set included
Long-term current keeper since 2016

The Appeal

Few classics are as easy to own and simply fuss-free as a good B roadster. Great, inexpensive parts supply and an army of enthusiast owners and specialists make buying one feel like joining a brand-new friendship group.

This ‘78 roadster is a particularly tidy car finished in popular Teal Blue. The paint, panels and structure check out well in the usual MG areas, just a few minor points to note in photos. Inside, the cabin has been retrimmed in black and presents well. The fittings like the roof and tonneau are also in good order. The car sits on correct Rostyles, with four spares included in the sale.

The car has been with the current keeper for 10 years, and MOT records indicate it has been regularly but sparingly used. There are plenty of B’s about, but this one looks especially tidy.
