The Appeal
The most iconic of the British classics. A smartly-poised, elegant roadster that summated the golden age of the great British sports car. That language of a summer's breeze in your hair with a perky little four-pot in front of you - it's a universal one, and with one of the best support networks in the business, it's little wonder the MGB continues to endure decade after decade.
This desirable 1969 example comes to us in fine order, with a very evocative Pale Primrose livery. Bolstered by a comprehensive history and plentiful, regular maintenance, this car has clearly lived a very comfortable life - including a full body restoration in 1995 and the fitting of a reconditioned engine in 2015.
Little used in recent years, this much-loved car is now ready and waiting for its next chapter. image.png3.13 MB
