Description
1962 MGB Roadster | First Year of Production | Fully Restored | Five-Speed Gearbox
Finished in striking Tartan Red with a beautifully trimmed black leather interior featuring contrasting red piping, this 1962 MGB Roadster is a superb example from the first year of MGB production, making it one of the earliest versions of this iconic British sports car.
The car underwent a comprehensive restoration completed in 2008, the quality of which is evident throughout. The bodywork presents beautifully, while the underside has been finished to the same exceptional standard as the exterior. The engine bay is equally impressive, meticulously detailed and reflecting the care and attention invested in the restoration.
Retaining the distinctive character of the early cars, this MGB sits on its original-style wheels with the banjo steering wheel while benefiting from the discreet addition of a five-speed gearbox, providing more relaxed motorway cruising and enhanced drivability without detracting from its period charm.
Inside, the cabin is beautifully appointed with black leather seats finished with contrasting red piping, complemented by a new red vinyl hood. The car is further enhanced by a matching tonneau cover, hood cover, covered spare wheel, and the original tool kit, completing an exceptionally well-presented and practical package.
As a first-year production MGB, this Roadster represents an important chapter in the model's history. Combining early-car appeal with the benefits of a high-quality restoration and sympathetic upgrades, it is equally suited to touring, classic rallies, concours events or simply enjoying on open roads.
Beautifully presented throughout, this is an opportunity to acquire a highly desirable early MGB that is ready to be driven and enjoyed with a fresh MOT.
