West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely stunning example of this 1973 MGB Mark III 1800cc Convertible in 'Torch Red' color paint with a 'Black' interior, a black soft top, chrome knock off wire wheels and factory spare wire wheel in the trunk. All the options are working as they should including all gauges and lights, and the car has been fully restored with no expense spared.

This is one exceptional example of this classic British sports car - a rust and accident free example which has been beautifully restored of the legendary chrome bumper Mark III MGB roadster! The trunk, floor boards, rocker panels and all the typically rust prone areas are all solid and rust free, the chrome is all new and the car boasts a chrome roll bar, both of its original 'Lucas PL700' tripod leadlamps and after market fog lights, a luggage rack and CD player.

The simple uncluttered lines of the early MGB's were never improved by later revisions (the MGB line survived until 1980) and it is still these early models, which were a sturdy, straight forward sports car with features that will fascinate enthusiasts for decades to come, that are most sought after by MG enthusiasts and collectors. There was no denying the appeal of the MGB which in almost all respects; performance, comfort, space and convenience was a distinct improvement on its predecessor, the MGA and despite of little or no profits being returned to British Leyland, the model enjoyed record sales for the company.

Without a doubt you will look hard to find a better looking or fully restored daily driving example with modern upgrades of this rare piece of British motoring history - perfect for the MG enthusiast or any classic British car collector!
