The 1978 MG B Roadster is a classic British sports car that offers a blend of style, performance, and heritage. Perhaps one of the all-time greatest classics, the MG B is so synonymous with British motoring that you'll still see them in the wild today.
This particular example, resplendent in Snapdragon Yellow, is sure to turn heads. The refurbished wire wheels, a rare feature, add to the car's charm. The black fabric roof and black vinyl seats piped in yellow create a striking contrast with the exterior, making this car a standout specimen of a truly legendary car.
The car is powered by a 1.8L B Series engine with twin SU carburettors and a four-speed manual gearbox, offering an engaging and authentic classic driving experience. The car comes with an extensive history and previous MOTs, providing a clear picture of its past and the care it has received. It's now ready and waiting to hit the road with a new owner.
