1971 MGB Roadster - Exceptional Condition For Sale

This exceptional, fully rebuilt MGB Roadster as built on the 29tth April – 6th May 1971 for the RHD, Home Market. The B Roaster left the factory in Teal Blue with Autumn Leaf upholstery and was sold new by Wheatey Motors Ltd, Stockton on Tees. YDC 550J was supplied new with Rostyle wheels, heater, tonneau cover, seatbelts and overdrive.
In 1995 the MGB had a recorded mileage of 75, 522 and over 12 years covered little under 1500 miles. The MGB was then taken off the road in 2005 and having been left for 15 years, in 2020 it was subject of a major restoration with just running in miles covered since. The MGB first came to us last year and sold to one of our regular customers who has now part exchanged the MGB for his next classic.

The MGB was taken to a Hertfordshire based specialist and the car fully stripped down for assessment. The body was then subject of fabrication work, preparation and then a full re-paint including underbody in the cars original colour of Teal Blue. The car was mechanically and electrically overhauled and the engine stripped down for rebuild. The engine block was re-bored, new pistons and rings supplied and fitted, new main bearing shells, oil pump and new timing chain fitted. The engine was built up with all new gaskets, the cylinder head rebuilt, clutch replaced, and the carbs fully rebuilt. The brakes were all renewed with new pads and discs, the front suspension rebuilt with poly bushes, the overdrive stripped and rebuilt with new gaskets. The gearbox, steering rack and suspension were checked, blasted, re-painted and re-fitted to the car.

YDC 550J was built up with renewed or replaced brightwork, Halogen headlamps, new wheels and tyres, re-furbished hard top, new hood and re-trimmed upholstery. The MGB was finished with excellent attention to detail with a show level engine bay, exceptional clean inner arches, immaculate boot compartment and generally excellent finish. On the road the MGB is fantastic fun with excellent performance, handling, and braking. The engine is super fit, gearbox and overdrive smooth, and the car is ready for summer touring, shows and events. This car should not disappoint, it's presents beautifully, is first class on the road and is a competitively priced example that is incredibly well detailed.
