The Appeal

The MGB Roadster is one of the most recognisable and rewarding British sports cars of its generation. This 1976 example sits among the later rubber-bumper cars, a model year with a dedicated following among MGB enthusiasts who appreciate its particular dashboard layout and period character.

This roadster is noted to have been restored, with the work reportedly supported by a file of bills and receipts. Finished in black with a cream leather interior piped in black, it cuts a handsome figure on its 14-inch Rostyle wheels with chrome rim embellishers. The specification is enhanced by overdrive on third and fourth gears. A new mohair hood, new battery, and immobiliser are understood to have been fitted, and two sets of keys are included. It is reported as being in very good condition, ready for summer enjoyment.
