Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.
Manufactured new in 1972, the MGB offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 11th of January that year. Understood to have been restored cosmetically and mechanically in the 1990s, the MG has covered approximately 8, 000 miles across the last 18 years. Finished in Flame Red with a complementary Black cloth interior upholstery with Red piping, a Black mohair hood from Don Trimming Company Ltd. is fitted, with a Black full-length tonneau cover accompanying too. The interior features a Moto-Lite steering wheel and a period-looking Bluetooth/ USB head unit fitted.
