A beautifully presented MGB Roadster with an appealing combination of classic styling, extensive restoration history and practical upgrades.
An excellent opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a cherished example of one of Britain's most recognisable classic sports cars.
Genuine enquiries and inspections welcome.
What makes this particular MGB Roadster special is the level of care, attention and dedication that has gone into its restoration and preservation.
The car belonged to my late father, who had a real passion for classic cars and took enormous pride in owning, maintaining and working on his beloved MG. It was much more than just a car to him; it was something he genuinely loved and devoted countless hours to.
Retaining its original bodyshell, the car has been extensively restored and carefully maintained, with a comprehensive collection of photographs and documentation recording the work undertaken.
It's a wonderful example of classic British motoring, combining the timeless styling of the early chrome-bumper MGB with thoughtful improvements, including power-assisted steering and the desirable overdrive gearbox.
The car has been cherished rather than used as an everyday vehicle, kept away from wet weather and driven sparingly, with approximately 4, 225 miles covered since restoration.
One of its greatest attractions is the quality of its presentation, from the beautifully finished exterior and interior to the exceptionally clean engine bay.
Following my father's passing, we have made the difficult decision to offer the car for sale. Our greatest wish is that it finds a new owner who will appreciate it as much as he did, continue to care for it and enjoy it for many years to come.
It's a very special car with a personal history, and we hope its next chapter will be with someone who shares the same passion and enthusiasm that my father had for it.
