Description
A much loved, and cherished MGB Roadster, owned for 42 years, 3 owners from new, the previous ower was my best friend.
4 Speed Box with Overdrive.
Ivor Searle Stage 2, 1860 cc engine, which has only done 23 000 miles. Overdrive changed at the same time. Huge history file.
I know that the alloy wheels are an acquired taste, the original Rostyle steel wheels, blasted and painted silver, will come with the car.
Leather seats, Motolita steering wheel, 123 Digital Distributer, Stainless Steel exhaust
Very solid car, which had the Ziebart anti corrosion treatment when new. Box sections have been filled with wax periodically since.
Has a normal V5C UK registartion document, and a French registration document, dating form the 1990s, when I lived there, with the car.
Hood has a small tear, and there is a blemish on the paintwork on the bootlid due to the weight of the boot rack. A spare boot lid that needs painted, will come with the car.
Comes with Tonneau cover, and Buffalo Cover.
MOT till April 2026. This car has only had 3 owners. The first lady owner bought the car in November 1978. In the spring of 1982 it passed to my best friend Colin Mackenzie, who sold it to me in October 1982, at which time there was 28 000 miles on the clock.
The car went to France with me in 1990, and was officlaly imported and registered there for the 6 years I lived in France, It came back to the UK with me in 1996. The car therefore also has a French registration document dating from that period.
The car has always been garaged, throughout my tenure.
At various stages of its life with me, its use has ranged from almost an everyday car, in the early years, to doing very little mileage in more recent times, as my interest in cars, moved to Saab. Check the MOT history for the last few years.
Why am I selling? Too many cars, not enough garages, plus my advancing years, making getting in and out if the car, not as easy as it was. I can still manage it OK, as long as the roof is open, Having said that, I almost never close the roof!
