The Appeal
Britain's favourite sports car? We reckon so.
The MGB roadster is everything you want an open-topped two-seater to be: Stylish, fun to drive, easy to maintain - the 'B' has it all. And we're delighted to offer this beautiful 1973 example, which has benefited from a great deal of work during recent years.
Comprehensive refurbishment work carried out in 2016 included a bare metal respray and fitment of a bespoke red leather interior. Having been in the current ownership since 2012, this MG has received significant mechanical attention, most notably a replacement Ivor Searle engine fitted in 2025 with less than 200 miles covered since installation.
The vendor summarises:
"The car is a real head turner. Excellent paint and body work with only minor blemishes. Interior is superb and new Ivor Searle engine. Not perfect but very very nice." image.png3.97 MB
