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.jU4XVqXHrCeFz481r55IpnlGGABeVP6Hxh6LvdHO.jpg595.67 KB

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.
