Introduced in 1962, the MG B 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.
Presented in the classic combination of British Racing Green over black vinyl this venerable B was subject of an older restoration with photographs on file and has been undersealed to help aid corrosion prevention. On inspection the car ran smoothly with a pleasant clutch and gearbox. Fitted with a fuel isolator for peace of mind when not in use it is offered with a tonneau cover, hood cover, sundry invoices, history file and Swansea V5c.
