The Appeal
The MGB is one of the most enduringly popular classic sports cars of all time, and with good reason. Good looking, comfortable, great to drive and easy to work on these really are the perfect classic.
This example, looking fun and summer ready in yellow goes one further thanks to a comprehensive restoration in 2002, which it still looks fresh from, and a new Gold Seal engine in 1990.
