The Appeal

When MG turned to Pininfarina to restyle their ever-popular 'B' Roadster, the styling house chose to knock it out of the park by creating a very pretty coupe. This was a remarkably handsome variant of one of Britain's all-time most popular MG motors - revolutionised almost into a mini E-Type. It's little wonder they've become of the most desirable examples of the model.

Presented in a true Best of British Metallic racing green livery, with an attractive black cabin, the car is resplendent with its Webasto roof and recently refurbished wheels. The car has been treated to plenty of new parts and is still offering that perky performance the MGB has always been so beloved for.

If you're after a truly iconic British classic, this is a superb opportunity.
