The Appeal

The MGB Roadster is one of Britain's most beloved sports cars, and might well sit amongst the most iconic classic car of all time. The pleasant styling, responsive handling and distinctive British milieu has made these little roadsters something of legend - bolstered in a big way by the car's fantastic support network and easy-to-maintain mechanics.

This particular example is a genuine 1966 'pull handle' car, presented in fine order following a comprehensive restoration in 2011. It's enjoyed plenty of event appearances in its time, and retains plenty of original features. Picked out in the MGB's near-synonymous red livery, it's a real head turner.

For collectors seeking a sorted example of this iconic British sports car, this MGB represents a fine opportunity.
