MGB Roadster: Re-shelled/ Fast Road Specification
At Milestones we are always searching for exceptional classics for our discerning client base seeking a special car and we are absolutely delighted to have back a car that we have sold twice before and ticks just about all the right boxes.
First registered in 1972 our MGB was the subject of a complete restoration over a 15 year period. Newark Cars (Lincoln) initiated the restoration by sourcing a rust-free shell and building it as a project for the owner resulting in a superb rolling shell finished in Nissan Skyline Blue. The project then passed to Julian Cardew at Greetham Garage. Rutland who completed the mechanical restoration and personally used the car for a number of continental tours.
In 2012 the ‘B’ passed to another enthusiast who spent in excess of £10k improving the car to his own personal specification.
