Ex David Griffiths
Successful Club Racing machine
Unraced in recent years
Very well prepared to a good specification
Suitable for a variety of events
This ‘Series 1’ MGB Roadster was first registered on 8th July 1966, though its significant history has probably occurred in just the past 10 or so years. Purchased by Mr David Griffiths in 2006, this Roadster was extensively raced by him for the next five years. A comprehensive selection of Scrutineering tags and stickers accompany the car (please see the photo gallery on our website) and attest to its entry into race meetings organised by such bodies as Classic Sports Car Club, Top Hat, BRSCC, Bentley Drivers Club and BARC. From 2007 to 2010 Mr Griffiths competed in the MGB at such circuits as Mallory Park, Anglesey Circuit, Oulton Park and Cadwell Park, initially carrying the race number 29 and latterly 39. Scammonden Hill Climb was also tackled in 2007 demonstrating the breadth of events this MG is eligible for.
Sold by Mr Griffith in 2011, the MGB is in ‘as last raced’ condition, with the new owner’s plans to take to the track derailed by property acquisitions and life in general.
Though ‘on the button’, driving very well and seemingly pretty much ready for road use, a new owner might like to undertake some very light recommissioning by giving the MG a service and change of fluids. While a check of the regulations and a race preparation could see the car rapidly back on the circuits. As it is, this ‘B’ strikes us as a sensibly priced blank canvas which can be painted in the new owner’s style; Club racer, Le Jog or Classic Malts type historic regularity rally car, Sprint and Hill-climb machine or just a fast road and track day tool. The choice, as they say, is yours.
