* Vehicle Overview* - In great condition inside and out, under the bonnet, in the boot and underneath are equally as impressive.
Driving really well with no untoward knocks, bangs or rattles, and with the added bonus of overdrive in 3rd and 4th gear she pulls through the gears and keeps up with modern traffic effortlessly.
A notable feature is the full-length Webasto sunroof, which provides the open-air benefits of a convertible while preserving the coupé’s structural strength. The sunroof is in perfect condition, sliding back and forth effortlessly, further enhancing the driving experience.
Classic car insurance is affordable, it is exempt from MOT and road tax is free, and spare parts are readily available for upkeep.
With virtually unrivalled club support, the MGB is an ideal choice for those seeking a practical and easy to maintain classic car.
The car comes with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate issued in 2021.
In 1990, the car was classified as a non-structural Category D insurance loss, meaning it had minor, repairable damage, but the insurer chose not to fix it. The damage could have been cosmetic or electrical, allowing the car to be repaired and returned to the road.
* Historical Significance* - The British Motor Corporation (BMC) needed a replacement for the very popular MGA. Development on the MGB started in the late 50s. In 1962 the sleek, two-seater MGB Roadster was launched. It was joined in October 1965 by the Pininfarina styled two door coupe, the MGB GT. Essentially the same car, one with a convertible roof, one without. Both are lovely.
The construction of the body was by the standards at the time innovative. Instead of BMC’s usual approach of a solid ladder chassis with a separate body bolted on top, the boffins at BMC decided to integrate the whole structure into a monocoque all-in-one design. That rush of blood to the head was enough to be getting on with for the old boys at BMC. The running gear and engine were carried over from the previous and successful classic MGA. The brilliant B Series engine started back in the late 40s. All new body construction, good old fashioned engineering bits and bobs. It makes a great package.
* Important Considerations* - Please keep in mind that this is a 43-year-old classic car. While it is in excellent condition, some imperfections, age-related wear, or the need for occasional repairs may arise.
Owning a classic car is a hobby that requires ongoing care and maintenance, which is part of the joy of ownership.
