A very tidy example of a late rubber bumper MG B Roadster, finished in Pageant Blue with a black soft top over a black interior. This car is offered as a bereavement sale, having been owned by the Vendor’s late husband for the past three years. With just five former keepers, it presents as a well-cared-for example of this ever-popular British sports car.
The MG presents very well both inside and out, with a smart interior and a tidy exterior finish. A notable upgrade is the Mazda MX-5 five-speed gearbox conversion, a highly regarded modification that significantly improves gearchange quality and makes the car more relaxed and enjoyable to drive, particularly on longer journeys. The vehicle is accompanied by a variety of old MOT certificates and invoices, along with the fitting instructions for the gearbox conversion kit.
Owned by the Vendor’s late husband for the last three years, this MG B is now being offered due to bereavement. The car has had five former keepers in total.
Produced from 1962 until 1980, the MG B became one of the most successful and enduring British sports cars of its era. The Roadster was the first variant introduced, offering a pure two-seat layout with improved comfort and practicality over the earlier MGA. From late 1974, the MG B adopted distinctive steel-reinforced rubber bumpers to meet impact regulations, giving the car a revised appearance while retaining the same engaging driving characteristics that made the model so popular worldwide.
A smart and usable example of a rubber bumper MG B Roadster, enhanced by a MX-5 five-speed gearbox conversion. Well presented, sensibly upgraded and offered with supporting paperwork, this MG represents an attractive opportunity for those seeking a classic sports car that can be comfortably enjoyed on modern roads.
