Sat 11 & Sun 12 April This MG B Roadster is an original UK car with 5 registered keepers from new. Its odometer displays 53,600 miles and it comes with an advisory-free MoT to 30th July 2026. The car is well specced, with features including chrome wire wheels, wood-rim steering wheel and leather seats, and the vendor confirms that it “drives very well”. Recent maintenance has been performed by the MG Owners' Club Workshop, and we're told that the engine and gearbox + overdrive have been rebuil...
The MGB Roadster (1962-1980) became the best-selling MG of all time with over 500,000 produced. The unibody construction was revolutionary, offering a stiffer shell than the separate-chassis MGA. The 1798cc B-series engine produced 95hp initially, later detuned for emissions. Chrome bumper cars (pre-1975) are most sought after.
Rust is the primary enemy - check sills, floor pans, front wings, door bottoms, and rear wheel arches. Overdrive units fail if oil level drops. Rear leaf springs sag. 1975+ rubber bumper cars have raised ride height affecting handling. Engine prone to overheating if cooling system neglected.
Chrome bumpers (pre-1975), overdrive, wire wheels, hardtop. Limited Edition models. Original radio, heater. Matching numbers. Heritage shell cars acceptable if documented.
