Description
With us at RFH Classics we have 1974 (M) MGB 1. 8 Roadster, a quintessential British sports car finished in the ever popular and period correct Damask Red. This chrome bumper example showcases the classic lines and elegant proportions that define the MGB, making it a car of timeless appeal. Offering a spirited driving experience and remarkable usability, this Roadster is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of British motoring heritage and represents outstanding value in today’s classic car market. It’s an ideal companion for summer drives, car shows, or weekend motoring adventures.
Powered by a lively 1796cc lead free four cylinder engine, this MGB fires up with ease and quickly settles into a smooth, reliable rhythm, with excellent cold and hot oil pressure. The engine is paired with a four speed manual gearbox that benefits from the optional, recently replaced overdrive, ensuring relaxed and enjoyable cruising. The car’s period charm is enhanced by Minilite style alloy wheels, which complement the period colour exterior, while the black vinyl roof is in excellent condition.
Inside, the cabin is presented in black vinyl trim with red detailing on the seats, creating a stylish and inviting space. Recent improvements include new carpets that now extend into the boot area and a sleek black leather Astrali steering wheel, offering a touch of modern refinement.
This MGB has been carefully maintained and is accompanied by a good history file, containing service records and invoices that attest to the care it has received. As a historic vehicle, it is exempt from both road tax and ULEZ charges, adding to the ease and affordability of ownership. For extra peace of mind, the car will be supplied with a fresh MOT upon sale, ensuring it is ready for its next chapter. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-sorted and highly usable example of one of Britain’s most beloved sports cars.
