Description from the seller

Beautifully restored MGB Roadster from 1972 offered, this MG is maintained and improved in every detail! in the color Tartan Red with an excellent black leather interior with red piping, original black steering wheel, silver painted wire wheels and stunning chrome work.

This MGB was imported in 2002 and between 2010 and 2020 fully body-off restored, after which the car has been nut-and-bolt rebuilt and provided with a new interior, revised engine and new paint.

Exterior:

The color is Tartan Red, in 2010 the body was restored and the color applied neatly both inside and out. The paint is still in good condition, though naturally it shows some small signs of use since then. The panel gaps are very tight, rubbers have been replaced and all chrome parts are in very good condition; additionally the soft top was replaced in 2020 with a new Mohair cover. There is also a soft top cover present.
This MGB has been cherished by the previous owner since 2021, nothing has been spared and it shows!

This MGB features 14" wire wheels which were delivered in 2015; the MG also has very nice classic tires with ample tread, the chassis is tight and neat, and the brakes and suspension are also perfect and functioning well. In 2012 new shock absorbers were fitted for extra comfort. The exhaust has a sporty single tailpipe. Furthermore this MGB Roadster has original MGB badges, an almost new chrome grille and clear Lucas headlights.

Interior:

The interior is equipped with two luxurious black leather MGB seats with red piping and headrest, matching door cards, beautiful black carpet set and new MG floor mats. The dashboard is neat, this is the luxury dashboard model with extra Smiths gauges. The MG is professionally insulated for more comfort.

Technical:

Equipped with an original 1798cc 4-cylinder gold-seal engine with 98 BHP and a revised easy-shifting 4-speed manual gearbox (2015). The carburetor is original but revised and very well adjusted. In addition there are new spark plug cables, spark plugs, oil and filters fitted. Of course the entire mechanicals have been thoroughly checked in our workshop and provided with a complete maintenance service. The mechanics are 100% in order, with good brake lines, brakes (disc brakes at the front).

Included:

- Delivery service (inspection)
- Export documents (export)
- Technical inspection

Description:

A carefully restored MGB. This is an older restoration and, of course, it has been used since then by the previous owner, but apart from a few signs of use it is still in very good condition. This MGB is a specimen you can enjoy for years on beautiful tours and drives without a worry.
