In Brief:

  • One of the first of the 'push button' MG B's
  • Finished in Red with a Black soft top over a Black leather interior with Red piping
  • Owned by The Vendor for the last 4 years
  • 4 former keepers

On the Surface:

A tidy example of an early ‘push button’ MG B Roadster, this 1965 model is finished in Red with a Black soft top, complemented by a Black leather interior with Red piping. The car presents well overall, offering the classic open-top British sports car look that has made the MG B such an enduring favourite among enthusiasts.

Maintenance & History:

Registered under BGV733C, this MG B has had four former keepers and comes with its current V5 document. Unfortunately, no further paperwork or historical records accompany the car. While no service history is available, the car has been in the ownership of The Vendor for the past four years and appears to have been maintained to a good standard during that time.

The Model:

The MG B Roadster was introduced in 1962 by the British Motor Corporation as a successor to the MG A. It was among the first sports cars to feature a monocoque body structure, improving rigidity and space efficiency. Compact, responsive and full of charm, the MG B remains one of the most recognisable icons of British motoring, prized for its balanced handling and approachable character.

Sale Insight:

This 1965 MG B Roadster represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the first of the 'push button' MG B's and an attractive example of one of Britain’s best-loved sports cars.

Estimate:
£4,000 - £5,000
