Rebuilt and regularly serviced / maintained in professional garage facility by OwnerIf you’re old enough to have owned an MGB the first time around, or young enough to love the look of a timeless classic, you’ll want to own this car.

First up it’s painted in stunning pearlescent orange - the only one I’ve seen in this colour anywhere… Sunshine on four wheels that makes you smile while driving and certainly brings smiles and interest from people seeing it. The rebuilt and lowered suspension together with 15 inch wheels adds to the effect (it pops… - just take a look at the photographs…)

Restored and resprayed in 2016. Under the bonnet is a healthy, 1950cc Stage two, Fast Road engine that produces a great sound under acceleration and keeps up with traffic to say the least.
A weber twin choke carb and electronic ignition make for smooth running and consistent power across the rev range and the rebuilt suspension and running gear make for firm and predictable road holding.

Unlike others you’ll see with the usual list of gremlins, this car has been thoroughly sorted and proven reliable. It has delivered a flawless return trip to Cyprus (across Europe) with no issues whatsoever and is in good condition, as built and maintained at no expense spared, by the owner (see the accompanying spec list to see all features)

If it’s so great - why is it for sale? Answer - the owner is retiring and moving abroad, and so needs to clear out the garage.
It’s sad to move it on, but hopefully it will go to a new owner who will continue to cherish and enjoy it, as much as it has been up to now.

If it’s grabbed your attention, then please come and take a look soon, as a lot of interest is expected and it’s likely to go quickly..

If this MGB has already gone by the time you see this ad, or you feel the need for even greater speed, please see the link below to another car from the same owners collection - a striking and very driveable MGB V8 Roadster - see "alternate purchase" pic
