The Appeal

A lot has been said about the MGB over the years so we'll keep it simple. It was, is and will always be the quintessential British roadster. Offering the perfect blend of a peppy four-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive and handsome Italianate styling, an MGB should feature in every collector's garage.

1966 and '67 models are often regarded as the best of the bunch and our Roadster is the latter. Having been restored to a very high standard and carefully preserved ever since (covering a mere 4,164 miles since purchase in 2003), it continues to present beautifully, and the vendor assures us that it drives very well indeed.

A recent full service in May 2024, which addressed all outstanding issues, ensures this MGB is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
