An iconic of British motoring the MGB entered production in 1962 and ran until the 1980s in its original form, the name was revived in 1992 for three years but it wouldn’t live up to the original MGB. The MGB was originally designed as a 2-seater, soft-top, four-cylinder sports car but the hard top option was introduced in 1965. A proper little sports car the MGB would end up selling 520,000 units and is now one of the most recognisable classic British sports cars.

The history of this car is there somewhere it has been serviced when needed but with being of the age that it is you can imagine that there have been many happy trips with this car with some top-down easy driving.

There is paperwork that comes with the car including things like invoices for all the works completed. Some of these works include a total brake overhaul front and back, New clutch master and slave cylinders, new radiator, new stainless steel exhaust system and every rubber suspension bush has been replaced for nylon ones. The V5 is also present for this car. This amount of paperwork and list of new parts show how much time and effort has been put into this little British icon which means it will be an excellent little sports car.

The interior of the MGB is in remarkable condition, with no rips on the classic black with red piping seats and no cracks in the dash. The minimalistic dashboard is populated with a few toggle switches and plastic dials that all work in the intended fashion, the MG badging is displayed proudly in the middle of the dash just so you don’t forget what an iconic car you’re driving.

With this being the roadster variant of the MGB family it means you are able to explore the world with the top down taking in marvellous scenery whilst being able to listen to the glorious BMC B series 1.8l 4 pot soundtrack.

The exterior of this MGB appears to be in excellent condition for its age there may be a mark here and there, but this may be expected from a 50 year old car. The green paintwork still sparkles as it would’ve done when it left the factory in 1971 and with the addition of the black vinyl soft top it adds a whole other dimension to the car. As you can see from the photos the top does go up and down and it seats nicely in the little space behind the seats. The top itself is in good condition.

This MGB sits on the iconic alloys you see so many of these cars on, but these ones are in good condition with only a few minor scuffs. You will also be able to see the addition of the two spotlights on the front which just set the whole car off.

If you pop your head under the bonnet you will be greeted with the well-known BMC B-series engine which was in so many British cars at the period. Its 1.8l 4 cylinder would produce around 100 hp which is ample for a car of this weight. This version is fitted with twin carburettors to aid the production of more power. There is also a battery isolator switch that has been fitted recently.

From factory this car only came with a 4-speed gearbox, but the addition of the overdrive function allows you to cruise are higher speeds with the added benefit of slightly better fuel economy. All in all, this specific MGB is in good mechanical condition.

As a testament to the mechanical condition of this car it went through an MOT in June of this year and it went through with NO advisories which is excellent for a 50 year old car.

MGB’s a few years ago were just another classic car that not many people would’ve appreciated but recently they have started to increase in price as people start to understand these cars a bit more. Whether this is your first dabble into the classic car world or you’re a seasoned collector everyone needs an MGB Roadster in their life. It is such an easy classic to live with that shouldn’t give you too many headaches due to its simplicity.

With there now being such a cult following for these little sports cars you are able to enjoy the benefits of car clubs and people who know what they’re talking about should you need any advice.
These little cars never fail to put a smile on someone’s face when they drive past.
