Carte Grise de Collection
Matching numbers reported
Evidence of regular maintenance and careful ownership

The Appeal

The MGB Roadster remains the quintessential British sports car. Good-looking, open-topped, and powered by a peppy four-cylinder engine with twin carburettors, the inimitable 'B' offers immense fun and simple maintenance.

This 1974 example is registered in Belgium on a Carte Grise de Collection and reportedly benefits from confirmed matching numbers.

Finished in bright red over a black interior, the car is equipped with wire wheels, a luggage rack, and a wood-rim steering wheel. The vendor reports that the MG presents well overall, though the brakes are noted as requiring renewal and the technical inspection has expired. A good history file reportedly accompanies the car, reflecting attentive ownership over the years.
