Description
Here we have a 1975 MGB Roadster. Selling on behalf of my brother in order to fund teacher training.
Note this is priced reasonable. It’s a running rolling restoration. If you want a perfect car you will have to pay a lot more. Expect to have to spend money on it it’s a 50 year old car!!
He has owned the car a year and it has had minimal use. Please see below for the good points and bad points of the car. We would deem the car a useable rolling restoration. The car is perfectly drivable, it starts and runs well, but it has some work needed in order to make it perfect.
This MGB Roadster was first registered on 16th January 1975 making it one of the very last original chrome bumper models sold. The car is the original correct paint colour of Glacier White.
The car was subject to full restoration in June 1990 that included:
Body Parts Renewed:
Both floor pans
Inner and outer sills
Castie Rails
Rear Panel
Both Front Wings Both Rear Wings
Front Valance
Bonnet
Other Parts Renewed:

Chrome Side Mouldings
Mechanical Parts Renewed:
Reconditioned Engine
New Brake & Clutch Master Cylinders

Wheel Cylinders
Clutch Assembly
The vehicle was treated with a complete Waxoyl.
According to the 1990 MOT the mileage was 90518 when the restoration and reconditioned engine work was done.
The last MOT we have June 2024 the mileage was 104, 000. Mileage today shows on the car as 4075 which we assume is 104, 075, but cannot verify.

Bad points:

Passenger seat does not adjust (probably an easy fix)
Fuel gauge does not work
Paint is flat in some areas (believe the body is fine underneath but just a bad re-spray)
More photos to follow. Car is viewable in Yeovil, Somerset. Currently SORN so not able to test drive. We recommend trailering the car away. It has not had a substantial drive in our ownership.
