1973 MG B

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Stunning condition MG B.
  • Harvest Gold paintwork.
  • Excellent bodywork.
  • Garaged for the majority of its life.
  • Ready to jump in and enjoy unmatched top down motoring.

THE APPEAL

The MG B is an elegant roadster. It sports a 1.8 litre engine that is capable of producing 92bhp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual gearbox, that has overdrive in 3rd and 4th gear. 
Whilst the MG doesn’t have the most powerful engine, it was designed to be a cruiser, a car to take you wherever you need to go in nothing but pure opulence and style. It may not be as nimble and fast when compared to its competitors but it is the perfect vehicle when it comes to soaking up the English countryside with then roof down on a summers day. 

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

  • Registered in 1973.
  • Tax and MOT exempt.
  • Previous MOT’s included.
  • Correct V5.
  • Stamped service book.
  • There is a selection of paperwork that comes with the vehicle such as the original MG B passport, and owners manual. 
  • We are informed that a previous owner garaged this car for the majority of its life, ensuring that it was kept away from the elements.

THE INTERIOR

  • Fantastic condition interior. 
  • The interior of the MG B presents very very well. 
  • Navy Blue tilt leather seats paired with the Navy Blue Wilton carpet looks great.
  • Front seats look to be in good order, with both sets showing minimal wear to either the bolsters or cushions. 
  • Reportedly, the MG has had new tilt leather seats. 
  • Door cards, dashboard and headlining look to be in excellent order with no significant scuffs or rips that we noticed. 
  • The carpet, as well as the upholstery within the car, looks great with no signs of discolouration or wearing that we noticed. 
  • The carpets in both, the drivers and passengers footwell has been protected by rubber branded MG floor mats.
  • All the gauges, switches and electronics within the vehicle are said to be working as they should do.
  • The chrome work within the MG looks great, still really lustrous and complements the blue interior really well. 
  • Speedo reports the mileage at 83,791.

THE EXTERIOR

  • Great overall condition.
  • Finished in a lesser seen Harvest Gold colour way. 
  • Chrome bumpers with the overriders look fantastic and have aged beautifully. 
  • The front of the car is relatively free from imperfections such as stone chips with the lower front valance showing no defects that we noticed. 
  • We are informed that it has had work carried out by previous owners to ensure that it is kept in the best condition possible. 
  • The body panels look nice and straight with no signs of damage or corrosion that we noticed. 
  • Brightwork around the car is in excellent condition. There are no signs of any corrosion, but the chrome work is starting to show very slight signs of pitting. With that said the front and rear bumpers in particular are looking luminous and bright for their age. 
  • Headlight lenses are clean, bright and free from sun damage, with the stainless steel headlamp guards protecting the lenses from stone chips. 
  • The headlamp guards present really well. 
  • The same can be said for the lenses on the rear lights. These are free from sun damaged and fading. 
  • Original British Leyland badges are present on the side of the vehicle and look great.
  • MG branding is present and correct and shows no signs of ageing or pitting where the MG badge on the rear is concerned. 
  • Glass and trim around the car is inline with the rest of the vehicle.
  • Underneath the MG shows no signs of corrosion that we noticed.
  • The Navy Blue Mohair roof is generally in good condition. There is a mark/imperfection to be aware of on the drivers side of the roof. This has been photo’d. 
  • As some will notice the MG B now sports rare Cosmic alloy wheels which look really great on the car. They’re in good condition all around and we saw no signs of any damage or curb rash. 

THE MECHANICS

  • 1.8 litre engine that produces 92bhp. 
  • 4 speed gearbox with overdrive (3rd and 4th)
  • Turn the key and away you go. 
  • The MG starts on the key and idles with absolute ease. We noticed no unusual sounds coming from the engine. 
  • The manual 4 speed gearbox behaves as it should do with no unwanted noises or crunching when switching between 1st and reverse.
  • The engine bay is presented well and looks fantastic for its age. 
  • There are a few things that have been modernised on the MG to ensure a even more pleasant driving experience, these are as follows: 
  • Electric ignition 
  • 12v Battery - alternator.
  • Auto Kenlowe fan.
  • Oil cooler.
  • SU electric fuel pump.
  • Inline fuel filter.

SUMMARY

This particular MG is a dream, ready to go, jump in and soak up the endless amounts of nostalgia this car has to offer, roof up or roof down. Offering huge amounts of style, comfort and sporting the plucky 1.8 engine, there is little more that you could want from a roadster. Whilst not the fastest, it is bound to have you enjoying every metre you travel. 
If you’re looking for a car to crunch miles in this year and look good doing it then you need look no further.
