Highlights
• A very low mileage example of the perennially popular MGB having covered a mere 1,000 miles or so per year
• A really eye-catching example with the Yellow Chartreuse paintwork and black hood and bumpers providing an attractive contrast
• A well-maintained example with all requirements being addressed regardless of cost
The Appeal
The MGB is an absolute staple of the classic car scene thanks to a combination of winning ingredients. These include excellent availability of parts, an engaging and enjoyable drive and a relatively low cost of ownership.
This example is a low owner, low mileage example in a great condition and with many of the usual MGB weak spots having been recently attended to. As such it represents an excellent prospect for the seasoned MG enthusiast or first-time classic car owner alike.
The History and Paperwork
• A UK built and supplied car finished in the very rare Chartreuse colour which was a one model year only colour
• Was taken to and kept in Spain for many years by a previous owner
• Acquired by the current owner in January 2022
• Only for reluctant sale now due to the arrival of another classic
• Complete with an interesting and diverse history file
• Complete with the original 1977 book pack
• The current V5 in the name of the owner
• Numerous invoices detailing work undertaken in both current and previous ownerships
• A number of documents relating to the car’s previous residence in Spain
• Numerous hard-copy MOT’s
The Interior
• This MGB features a lovely, period-correct interior
• The vinyl seats appear to have been recovered at some point in its history
• Carpets, door cards and dash all present very well and are in keeping with such a low mileage example
• Complete with some rarely seen original features such as the factory-fit rubberised steering wheel and the MG branded radio blanking plate
This MGB offers the new owner a lovely period-correct and very well presented interior. Many on offer have non-standard elements which detract from the purity and purpose of the original MG design. This example is a welcome exception which can either be kept in this original condition or personalised by the new owner as required.
The Exterior
• Well presented in gleaming Yellow Chartreuse paintwork – a one model year only colour for 1977
• Generally, in very straight condition with no areas of imperfection noted or reported
• Panel gaps appear both tight and symmetrical with doors, bonnet and boot opening and closing cleanly and positively
• Light lenses, screen and windows all appear original and in good used condition
• The black vinyl hood is a newly fitted item and so in excellent, as new condition with an unmarked rear window
• The Rostyle, 14-inch appear to have been professionally re-finished at some point and are fitted with chrome rim covers
• Tyres are a mix of quality Continental ContiContact (front) and Barum Brillantis (rear) with all exhibiting good levels of remaining tread
The MGB was an enduring design being produced from 1962 right up to 1980 such was its popularity. That popularity endures today with these iconic British sports cars attracting a huge and loyal following world-wide. This example stands out, not just for its excellent condition but for its rare Chartreuse paintwork which suits the car’s sunny disposition perfectly.
The Mechanics
• Fitted with the 1.8L BMC B-series engine which has proved to be a robust and reliable unit over many years
• Originally rated at 95bhp and 110 Ib-ft of torque
• This car has clearly been mechanically well maintained and presents very well under the bonnet
• In recent times the car has enjoyed a new clutch, slave, and master cylinders
• A new alternator, plugs and HT leads have been fitted
• A recent oil change has been undertaken and a new exhaust system fitted
• The owner reports all mechanical systems to be in excellent working order
• Fitted with a fully operational, gear-knob activated Laycock Type LH overdrive available on third and fourth gears
The MGB was designed to provide a good level of performance but not at the expense of driveability and durability. The erstwhile B-series engine was the perfect solution to this brief, providing a good spread of power combined with ease of maintenance and reliability. Part of the enduring mix that makes the MGB such a popular proposition for the classic car owner.
Summary
This is a great looking MGB, and you will not see many in this striking colourway. The sunny yellow, black good and bumpers and well-presented Rostyle wheels making for a winning combination. This is a very original and low owner, low mileage example too.
Further benefitting from a number of key improvements, including a new hood and exhaust system, makes for a classic MG that will continue to deliver enjoyment and happy memories for many years to come.

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.
