This MGB Roadster is an attractive example of the classic British sports car, which was acquired by the seller in 2019 from the president of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) MG Car Club. Under the bonnet sits a 1.8-litre inline-four, producing around 71kW, which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The odometer shows 39,169 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1970 This Roadster is finished in British Racing Green, accented by chromed bumpers and trim, while the cabin features black leather upholstery. It rides on 14-inch chromed wire wheels, wrapped in Winrun R380 tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, a fire extinguisher, a Pressmatic Deluxe AM radio, and an electronic ignition. An oil cooler was added by the previous owner. The original owner’s manual will be included, along with a spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a scratch on the driver’s door; the rear end was resprayed after having rust removed from the rear quarters; there are small stone chips on the bonnet and under the front bumper; there is a paint defect on the boot lid; the seat cushions have softened; in warm weather there is occasional short overrun when the ignition is turned off.
