In Brief:

  • 'Barn find' example of a rubber bumper MG B
  • Finished in Red with a Black soft top over a Black interior
  • In the ownership of The Vendor's late husband for the last 22 years
  • A rewarding project to be aided by strong club support

On the Surface:

Discovered in long-term storage, this 1979 MG B presents as a 'barn find' example of the ever-popular British sports car. The vehicle has been garage-kept but is offered as a non-runner, with no keys, paperwork, or V5 present at the time of cataloguing.

Maintenance & History:

There is no recent maintenance history to note, and the car will require recommissioning before returning to the road. Prospective buyers should assume a thorough mechanical inspection and restoration project will be necessary. The car is offered as a bereavement sale, having been discovered in The Vendor’s garage following the passing of her husband. Unfortunately, no supporting documentation or records have been retained.

The Model:

The MG B remains one of the most recognisable and accessible British classics, combining straightforward mechanicals with timeless styling. Produced from 1962 through to 1980, these cars have always enjoyed strong club support and readily available parts, making them an ideal entry point for classic motoring enthusiasts.

Sale Insight:

This MG B is offered as seen and will appeal to those seeking a rewarding restoration project or a source of spares. With a wealth of parts and specialist support still available, it represents an affordable opportunity to return a well-loved British roadster to the road.
