Description
1969 MG-B Roadster 1. 8 – Overdrive, Heritage Shell, Hardtop Included
A great opportunity to own a UK-spec MG-B Roadster 1969 finished in white with a burgundy soft top, complete with the highly desirable working overdrive.
Registered 17th August 1969. I purchased the car in April 2021 from a previous long-term owner (since 2012).
The car benefits from a Heritage shell, fitted prior to my ownership, which is in excellent condition with straight panel alignment. It sits well and presents very nicely overall.
Mechanical & Recent Work
Since owning the car, I’ve carried out significant maintenance and upgrades:
• New clutch, slave cylinder, and master cylinder
• Full engine reseal (gaskets and seals replaced)
• Upgraded 7-blade cooling fan and new water pump
• Gearbox and overdrive serviced (2023)
• Engine tuned by a time-served British Leyland mechanic
• New alternator and battery
• Half shaft bearings replaced
• Front wheel bearings replaced
• New headlights and main beam switch
Additional Features
• Minilite-style alloy wheels with good tyres
• Black hardtop (included with fitting kit)
• Roll bar (removable)
• Electric Window Screen washer pump
• Hazard lights
• Locking wheel nuts
• Period radio/ cassette
• Mud flaps and inner arch guards
Condition
The interior presents well with no rips to the upholstery and features an attractive walnut dashboard. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained.
This is not a concours car, but a very usable and enjoyable classic—perfect for summer driving and shows.

• MOT’d annually (last in April 2026 – verifiable online)
