Original optional extra overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear functioning
The Appeal
The MG Roadster represents classic British motoring at its most accessible and enjoyable. Open-top thrills, an excellent support network and easy parts availability make these diminutive roadsters fuss-free to own, and still offer an unbeatable experience on the open road. A real summer car, through and through.
This particular 1973 example has been comprehensively restored and subsequently maintained to a good standard. The Roadster has been cherished by its current owner who has kept it garaged and only used it in fair weather. Having been treated to an Ivor Searle engine and a stainless steel sports exhaust, it's ready and waiting to go, with that familiar engine note that's defined a generation of dyed-in-the-wool British classics. image.png5.42 MB
