First registered in October 1964 by Hallens of Cambridge, this MGB Roadster originally left the factory finished in Iris Blue, with a blue interior and blue hood. Over the course of its life, it has been in the caring ownership of seven individuals with the current being the keeper since 2015 and the prior owner from 1997.

The Interior
- Fantastic condition
- Black leather seats
- Minor wear on drivers seat
Inside the MGB you're greeted with comfortable and pleasant black leather seats with red piping, plus door cards and carpets to match. There's a familiar theme here, black dash and black dials are accompanied by chrome surrounds and switches, it's a subtle but tasteful design with the only minor sign of wear being on the driver's seat and bolster, everything else is delightful and in very good condition.
There has been an aftermarket Motorola radio which has been fitted to be used with an MP3 lead and smartphone. Also has been fitted a battery volt dial, again suitable and matches the factory dials perfectly. In conclusion, the interior of this MGB is grand, not brash or obtrusive, more civilised and pleasing.

The Exterior
- Sublime condition
- Black hood, in perfect order
- Fantastic chromework & trim
- Tonneau cover included
The beauty of the MGB cannot be escaped, especially in early roadster form. Bright, gleaming chrome bumpers, beautiful chrome wire wheels, attractive styling and low sporty stance are all present on this car, no wonder it’s one of the best selling British Sports Cars ever made.
The car was repainted from the original Iris Blue to Tartan Red and the hood changed to black during the restoration process in 2004, which is still in impeccable condition. Most panels were replaced, being treated , primed and painted before being fitted to the original body, this level of work has lengthened the lifespan of the car significantly and even though the work was carried out nearly 20 years ago, the car is in amazing condition.
We absolutely adore the colour combination, which is enhanced by the chromework, all in outstanding order. This car is magnificent, a very fine example of the beloved model.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
