This MGB Roadster is a well-presented example of the charming classic British open-top sports car, offered from long-term ownership, and benefitting from previous restorative maintenance around 10 years ago. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre ‘B-series’ inline-four, fed by twin carburettors, producing around 71kW and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This MGB was originally a UK-delivered model, which was imported to Australia, and has now been with the seller for eight years. The odometer indicates 19,543 miles, though this is not warranted. This example is understood to have multiple concours class wins at the MG Car Club of Queensland. This MGB was originally finished in Bracken, and is now presented in Old English White with a black convertible roof, over a black cloth and vinyl-trimmed interior, highlighted by chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 14-inch chromed Rostyle wheels, shod in Kumho Solus tyres. The factory specification includes headrests, a black leather-trimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, a VDO analogue clock, heater and ventilation controls, manually operated windows, push-out front quarter light windows, and a locking glove compartment. This example now features a Sanyo cassette stereo, electronic ignition, and a battery isolator. The car comes with a full tonneau cover, the owner’s handbook, a workshop manual, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified copy of a factory record, a spare wheel, black sheepskin seat covers, a tool roll, some spare parts, and a manual tyre pump. The previously resprayed Old English White paintwork is reported to be in good overall condition, though the seller notes a small fold in the boot lid, a small fracture by the offside headlight, and small dents in the front side guard. There are also scuffs and minor cracks on the front bumper, a touched-up blemish on the boot lid, light cracking on the rear bumper, minor pitting on the driver’s door mirror bracket, and a few other minor blemishes around the car. Inside, the cabin is in generally good shape given the car’s age and usage. There is mild stretching on the seats, and on the door cards, and modest signs of use around the other trim, but no major wear. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The most recent maintenance was in November 2022 at 19,528 miles by MG Workshops in Mulgrave, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, an engine tune, and the brakes inspected. This example underwent an extensive restoration in 2014. This MGB Roadster is a smart example of the 1970s open-top sports car, offered from long-term ownership, and benefitting from a previous restoration. Presented in good overall condition, with a handsome Old English White finish, it would make an enjoyable addition to any assembly of British classics, and a wonderful companion for fair-weather cruising.
