Replacement B Series engine and overdrive gearbox fitted
Chrome wire wheels with high-quality Avon tyres
Walnut dashboard
BMIHT certificate
Finished in Mallard Green, chosen for its resemblance to British Racing Green
The Appeal
If one were asked to compile a list of desirable MGB features, practically all of them feature on this car. Our 1973 'B' is the desirable roadster model in right-hand drive, with chrome bumpers, wire wheels, an accessory walnut dashboard, and overdrive.
It's finished in Mallard Green, a shade selected for its kinship with British Racing Green, and features a sumptuous upgraded interior that lends the cockpit a refined feel. Mechanically, it has benefited from significant investment, with a replacement 1,798cc engine and new overdrive gearbox both fitted at approximately the same time. The odometer shows 5,350 miles since the engine was installed. The vendor describes the car as driving beautifully.
Purchased as a birthday present for the current owner's daughter in September 2022, it comes accompanied by service history documentation and has clearly been cherished.image.png1.6 MB
