Description

The MG B is one of Britain's most iconic sports cars, produced by the MG division of the British Motor Corporation and celebrated for its timeless styling, engaging driving experience and enduring popularity among classic car enthusiasts. Combining open-top motoring with dependable mechanicals and elegant design, the MG B remains one of the most sought-after classic roadsters of its era.

First registered in September 1971, this charming example is presented in the quintessential colour combination of British Racing Green and has clearly been cherished throughout its life. The car benefits from an extensive history file, including a delightful collection of invoices dating from 2014 through to 2017 which document a comprehensive restoration programme. Both the exterior and interior were restored over a period of time, with the accompanying invoices providing a detailed record of the work undertaken.

Further enhancements include a new hood cover fitted in 2025, while the car also benefits from overdrive, making it a particularly enjoyable companion for relaxed touring and longer journeys. Spare keys are present and included within the sale.

The MOT history dates back to 2006 and provides a fascinating insight into the car's exceptionally light use over the years. In 2006 the recorded mileage stood at just 36, 294 miles, rising to only 44, 011 miles at its most recent MOT in April 2025. Today the odometer displays 45, 357 miles, further evidencing the careful and sparing use this MG has enjoyed throughout its life.

On the road, the car performs exactly as an MG B should, offering a delightful blend of character, usability and classic British sports car charm. Beautifully presented throughout, it is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next custodian.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a well-maintained and sympathetically restored example of this enduring British classic.
