The Appeal
If you want a classic roadster that you can jump in and enjoy, then few, if any, match the appeal of Syd Enever and Don Hayter’s handsome B. Reliable, easy to maintain and backed with unrivalled club and specialist support, these cars are the dependable troopers of our world.
Finding one is not the issue; finding a good, cherished one is somewhat harder. This lovely Glacier White roadster is exactly that. It’s been in the hands of the current keeper since 2000, which tells you something about the appeal of these cars and the condition of this one. It is an older restoration that presents very well in the usual MGB check areas. It was factory-fitted with desirable overdrive.
In 2024, £5,400 was invested in repairs to the brakes, coolant system, cylinder head, new tyres, and clutch system. With MOT history available from 2006 to 2019, this smart 1971 car feels like an easy, obvious choice for anyone seeking a chrome-bumper MGB to drive and enjoy.
