Highlights

Chrome bumper conversion
Overdrive gearbox
Excellent red paintwork

The Appeal

This MGB looks like it’s in great condition throughout, with its bright red paintwork gleaming and the stylish wire wheels wearing a set of whitewall tyres. The vendor tells us that the interior is immaculate and that the engine is perfect.

The car features an overdrive gearbox, for relaxed and efficient cruising at speed, and it has been converted to chrome bumpers. A luggage rack on the boot lid allows for long-distance touring and trips away.

We don’t suppose the MGB will ever fall out of fashion, as it has remained a steadfast feature of the classic car landscape for so long already. They are a delight to drive, easy to maintain and look fantastic. What’s not to like?
