On the Surface:

A lovely example of a rubber bumper MG B Roadster, this car is finished in Old English White, complemented by a red soft top and Cream leather interior with Red piping.

Maintenance & History:

Accompanying the MG is a history file containing a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) certificate confirming its provenance. The file also details invoices in excess of £3,600 since 2024, charting the significant expenditure and care bestowed upon the car in recent years. In October 2024, the car benefited from a substantial programme of work including conversion to an electronic ignition with new plugs and leads, replacement door cards, a brand-new soft top hood, two new front brake callipers, new rear brake shoes, cylinders, and flexes, plus new clutch and master cylinders. Further investment in July 2025 saw the fitment of four brand-new tyres. It is MOT tested until July 2026, offering peace of mind for the next owner.

The Model:

Introduced in 1962, the MG B became the quintessential British sports car of its era, combining stylish open-top motoring with robust mechanicals and enjoyable handling. Later models, such as this 1979 example with rubber bumpers, are becoming increasingly appreciated now.
