The plus
The MG B is rightly regarded as one of the most iconic British cars ever built, with clean lines and a dynamic driving experience - as well as exceptional parts availability and one of the most extensive networks - making it one of those 'must have' classics that continues to be highly sought after today.
This particular 1970 example, finished in the rare and detonating Royal Blue, stands out not only for its colour but also for its originality and well-preserved condition.
This MG B has been cherished by its current owner, who has used it for quiet drives and has always kept it in a safe, dry place. It is now ready for its next chapter as a ready-made, easy-to-maintain classic that evokes a bygone era of British motoring.
