MGB Roadster: Restored & Cherished
The original MGB Roadster is one of the most recognisable British sports cars ever manufactured. It brought affordable fun to the open road when launched in 1962 and today the later rubber bumper variant is an ideal/ cost effective choice for anyone looking for roof down classic car ownership.
Milestone Classics are delighted to market this exceptional MGB Roadster that we sold last year and have taken in part-exchange against another classic from a regular customer. The car is a local example that Jamie has known for over 10 years and ticks all the Milestone boxes.
Owned previously since 2009 the car has wanted for nothing during the past 13 years and always been regularly maintained regardless of cost.
Work has included: -
· Engine rebuild including unleaded head
· Electronic ignition/ coil/ leads/ cap
· Fuel pump/ hoses
· Brakes – wheel cylinders/ brake pipes/ shoes
· Shock absorbers & track rods
· Front wing, sills,
· Interior seat covers
· New hood
· Battery
On the road the car drives exactly as you would expect from a well sorted 'B'. The engine has covered just 2, 000 miles since being rebuilt and mechanically the car performs faultlessly.
Bodywork is very original with lovely paint, excellent panel alignment – the Pageant Blue really does work with the rubber bumpers – and new hood with zip out window. The engine bay is exceptional and has been detailed by the last owner to a high standard.
The history file contains information in respect of the restoration & mechanical work since, invoices, owners handbook etc.
Ready to drive anywhere, this lovely car is the perfect introduction to classic car motoring and will provide years of pleasure and many happy memories to the lucky new owner.
