Restored circa 1991 with comprehensive supporting documentation
Extensive collection of invoices accompanies the car
Working factory overdrive
Voluntary MOT valid until April 2027
The Appeal
The UK is experiencing a proper summer (at last), so there's never been a better time to buy an MGB roadster. There's nothing more fun than stowing the roof behind the seats and heading out along your favourite B roads in one of these quintessential British sports cars.
This chrome-bumper 1971 example was restored circa 1991, with all associated documentation retained to evidence the work carried out. Since then, it has been carefully maintained, and the current keeper has owned the car for approximately five years, using it sparingly and storing it properly.
Recent mechanical attention has been carried out, while a factory overdrive and added electronic ignition add to the car's usability. The vendor describes it as an engaging and joyful drive. An extensive collection of invoices accompanies the sale, offering a thorough record of the car's history and upkeep.
The vendor says:
"I have genuinely loved and cherished this car and am reluctant to part with it as it is such a joy to drive and enjoy, but needs must with my storage situation. I'm sure the new owner will enjoy the engaging drive and the joy of open-top motoring as I have."image.png1.45 MB
