Highlights

10,366 miles reported from new
Two registered keepers with first to 2024
One of the very last Bs registered
Very well kept shop-standard car in Blaze
Retrimmed in black leathered piped red with matching roof
Nicely detailed with auxiliary driving lights and polished LE alloys

The Appeal

Even with the enduring draw of the B, we suspect that few are quite as cherished as this remarkably preserved car. First registered in late 1982, it is a show-standard example in Blaze with desirable accessories like a front spoiler, LE polished alloys and front auxiliary lights. The interior has been retrimmed in black with red piping, and there is a quality fabric roof to match.

The condition reflects the car’s first keeper, who retained it until 2024 and kept the mileage to just 10,366 miles. That’s just 235 miles per year. Across the paintwork, bodywork and interior, the car presents extremely well. A pair of mirrors under the bonnet suggest that this preservation was intended for show use.

The car is said to retain its original panels and feature a Ziebarted underside. For those seeking the best of the final Bs, here it is.
