The Appeal

You can't beat a British sports car for open-top thrills, and the MGB is surely the most iconic of them all. Easy to maintain, good-looking, and lovely to drive, everyone should own an MG at some point, and here we have a fine example of the open-topped Roadster variant from 1978. The later rubber-bumper cars, once somewhat overlooked, have steadily gained appreciation among enthusiasts.

Our has benefited from a comprehensive restoration reportedly encompassing the entire body and shell, which was repaired, rectified, and welded before being resprayed in yellow. The vendor describes the car as largely factory standard, with the sole addition being an interior air conditioning unit.

Accompanied by service records and the original MGB handbook, this yellow MGB Roadster looks well placed for summer motoring with the hood down.
