The Appeal

The MG MGB is one of those classics that you're guaranteed to see in one form or another in the wild. With its attractive styling and perky performance, these masterful little motors have become - for many - the quintessential British sports car. They're simply excellent cars that set a blueprint for almost every roadster that followed.

This particular 1969 model has an impressively low mileage of just 41,873 miles. It was partially restored in 1993, with the old paint stripped, body primed and re-sprayed, new electrics installed, and the engine serviced. Since then, it has been stored in a dry, damp-free garage, preserving the bodywork in good condition and leaving the rest of the task, ready and waiting to be picked back up. We're sure that'll be a tantalising prospect for any dedicated enthusiast!
