Car Overview
Our superbly presented 44 year old example of the MGB Roadster is the very collectable MK2 version in Tartan Red with black leather seats and red piping. The car also comes with fitted options such as chrome wire wheels, overdrive gearbox, luggage rack, red tonneau cover and a Motolita wood rim steering wheel.
Spacious, comfortable and easy to drive, this immaculate restored, iconic British sports car provides the perfect nostalgic driving experience and comes supplied with full weather equipment (hood and tonneau).
The car was fully rebuilt into new shell in the 1990's and is presented in perfect condition both mechanically and cosmetically. The MK2 is popular amongst enthusiasts as it retains the original look and feel of the classic MK1 with the 60's interior but with the benefit of updates including full synchromesh gearbox, folding hood and reclining seats
MGB History
Launched in 1963 the MGB could not have been more different from the previous models produced by MG at the time. The MGB was a new breed of motor car with its unitary construction, timeless styling and bullet-proof mechanics, the MGB would provide the basis of the MG range for the next two decades.
The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction, with a 0–60mph time of just over 11 seconds, aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points with the suspension giving a softer, smoother ride to the previous MGA, and with the larger engine gave a slightly higher top speed. The MGB was extremely well received by the press who were fulsome in their praise of the new car, which was capable of exceeding 100mph without any fuss. Performance, handling and economy were all of a high standard for the time, which resulted in a thoroughly reliable sports car that was a joy to drive.
