The Appeal

The MGB LE was produced in a limited run of just 380 examples to mark the end of MGB production at Abingdon. It was the end of a truly remarkable era - and as the years have gone on, and the MGB has become all the more beloved, they've become hot commodities amongst enthusiasts.

This car spent over four decades in the care of a single lady owner before being acquired by the current keeper earlier this year. The history file is substantial, comprising an original service book recording 25 services with corresponding invoices, over £13,000 of documented expenditure, and MOT records spanning 2006 to 2022. Recently, the car has benefited from a bare metal respray and the wire wheels have been refurbished.

It's a handsome prospect indeed, and we expect one that'll attract plenty of interest at auction.
