Its American anti-pollution system has been removed, allowing full enjoyment of its 95 horsepower
Advisor's note
"This MGB is the textbook example of the 'safe bet'. Between its British Racing Green configuration, wire wheels and wood steering wheel, it ticks all the aesthetic boxes. Mechanically, the work carried out on the bottom end in 2021 and the recent spend on the transmission and running gear make it a car ready to hit the road immediately. It’s a rare opportunity to find a body this clean with such clear provenance at a very coherent price." – Jean-Michel, Veitura.
