On the Surface: This 1973 MG B Roadster is a decent example of the iconic British sports car, presented in its distinctive Mallard Green finish complemented by a Black tonneau soft top and a matching Black interior.

Maintenance & History: This example comes with a comprehensive history file that includes a potentially original MG B Driver’s Handbook, MOT certificates dating back to 1994, and invoices totaling over £5,000. A handwritten summary of work highlights significant upgrades, including the fitment of an exchange engine and gearbox, replacement chromework, and the installation of a heritage shell. While lots of work has clearly been completed on this MG B the soft top will require some attention due to age related wear and tear.

The Model: Produced between 1962 and 1980, the MG B Roadster epitomises the accessible sports car that was available across the 60’s and 70’s. Powered by a three-bearing 1,798 cc B-Series engine featuring a five-bearing crankshaft, this example delivers 95 hp at 5,400 rpm. With a 0–60 mph time of just over 11 seconds, it provides a lively driving experience that remains engaging even today.

Sale Insight: With its striking color scheme and well-documented maintenance this MG B would make a great purhase for any enthusiast looking at getting their teeth stuck into an example that has room for improvement.
