1973 MGB Roadster – Teal Blue with Black Trim
A very smart example of the ever-popular MGB Roadster, this 1973 car is finished in an attractive teal blue, complemented by black vinyl trim and sitting handsomely on Minilite-style alloy wheels.
The car has benefited from an older body restoration completed to a very high standard, which continues to present extremely well today. Panel alignment is notably good, with tight, even gaps throughout, clearly reflecting the quality of the work. The paintwork remains deep and lustrous, suiting the MGB’s classic lines perfectly.
Mechanically, this Roadster has been well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded. A recent full suspension rebuild has transformed the way the car drives, delivering a tight, responsive and confidence-inspiring feel. Braking has also been comprehensively addressed, with a recent overhaul including calipers, cylinders, Greenstuff pads and new linings, ensuring strong and dependable stopping power.
The engine is a particularly good, strong-running example, producing excellent power and pulling cleanly through the rev range. Reliability and drivability are further enhanced by the fitment of 123 electronic ignition. A stainless steel exhaust system has been installed, offering durability along with a suitably sporting exhaust note.
The desirable overdrive gearbox operates on both third and fourth gears, making the car equally happy on winding B-roads or longer, more relaxed cruising. A battery isolator is also fitted for added safety and peace of mind.
Overall, this is a well-sorted, very attractive MGB Roadster with a strong mechanical specification and excellent road manners – a classic that is ready to be enjoyed.
