Improved driving quality of later model car that has been professionally lowered
The Appeal
The ultimate do it all classic car. The pack leader when it came to lightweight, fun sports cars, the MGB held that title from its first introduction in 1962 and still proudly carries the legacy to this day. 95 horsepower and a simple body design were all that was needed to provide unrivalled levels of enjoyment for anyone who had the pleasure of getting behind the wheel, especially in its open top roadster format.
A chrome bumper conversion car, this 1977 Roadster combines the greatly improved driving pleasure of a later with the oh so wonderful early chrome bumper styling to create a simply perfect MGB. Having been subjected to a high quality extensive restoration over the last two years, this British icon must be one of the best MGBs available today and with a 12 month advisory free MOT is ready to be enjoyed from the first moment of ownership.
MGB’s have an uncanny knack for selling themselves, having built up a legendary reputation as one of the all time great British classics, they tick all of the important boxes the discerning classic buyer could require and provide excellent value for money over many other British counterparts.
Fresh from an extensive two year restoration SVW 298R is surely one of the best Roadsters available on the market today. With an advisory free MOT stretching well into May 2024, the next owner can drive this wonderful example of a British icon for many years and many miles with the dynamic benefit of a later rubber bumper car, without the compromise on style.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
C&C prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours. You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
