Seller's Notes

This MGB Roadster is a superb example of the classic British convertible, offered in a timeless specification. Under the bonnet sits the 1.8-litre B-Series inline-four engine, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer displays 13,205 miles, however this is not warranted. Originally a left-hand drive US-market example, this MGB is believed to have been restored at some point in its life and has been converted to right-hand drive, though there is no documentation to substantiate this. The car was sought-out by its current owner as the best Mk2 MGB they could find, and was purchased in Victoria. It has been stored in a garage during the vendor’s two-year ownership, and has only covered around 700 miles since its last service. This Roadster is finished in a charming red hue punctuated by chromed trim, while the cabin features black leather upholstery, a wooden gear knob, and a black leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel. It rides on a set of 14-inch polished wire wheels, which are wrapped with Bridgestone Supercat tyres. The car has been fitted with a non-standard wind deflector and a more modern Sony radio/cassette player, which is currently disconnected. The original owner’s manuals will be supplied, as well as the cherished plate ‘MGB 68’, and the original steering wheel. There has been no known bodywork damage. The red paintwork is in excellent overall condition, with a smooth, glossy appearance around the car and only a few minor blemishes around the rear badges. Inside, the cabin is also very smart, with no significant wear or damage. The apparent mark visible in the photos on the driver’s seat has been wiped off. Aside from the disconnected stereo, the electrics are believed to be in good working order, and no mechanical faults have been detected. This MGB’s most recent service was carried out in 2020 at an indicated 12,500 miles, when the engine oil and filters were replaced. This MGB Roadster is a charming British convertible, which is finished in a timeless colour combination and is thought to have been restored in recent years. Having covered only 700 miles since its most recent service in 2020, it would now make a wonderful companion for open-top weekend drives, and a fine addition to any collection of classic sports cars.
