Seller's Notes

This Australian-market MGB is a characterful and ever-popular classic British roadster, which is understood to benefit from a previous restoration. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre inline-four, fed by twin SU carburettors, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Built from a ‘CKD’ (Complete Knock Down) kit at the BMC Zetland factory in Sydney, the car remained with its previous owner for ten years, and has been with the seller for two years. The odometer indicates 80,414 Kms, which the seller believes to be accurate, though this is not warranted. This MGB is finished in the bold hue of Tahiti Blue with a black vinyl convertible roof, over a black part vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, punctuated by chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 14-inch cross-spoke wire wheels with three-spoke chrome knock-offs, which are fitted with Nankang CX-668 tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a three-spoke steering wheel, push-out front quarter light windows, Smiths gauges, a Voxson cassette stereo, and heater and ventilation controls. This example has been fitted with twin auxiliary outlets on the centre console, and an aftermarket immobiliser. The car comes with a jack, a spare wheel, a full tonneau cover, tonneau bars, and a set of keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: previous paintwork is believed to have been carried out in the car’s past. This Australian-market MGB is a charming and engaging classic open-top British sports car, which is understood to benefit from a previous restoration. Presented with a vibrant Tahiti Blue finish, endearing styling, and boasting a peppy inline-four engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it would make a characterful companion for weekend drives, fair-weather open-air cruising, and classic car show visits alike.

This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
