An adventure from America to Europe
After spending 19 years exploring the endless roads and promising landscapes of the “American Dream,” this MGB made its transatlantic journey to Europe in early 1994. Like many of its contemporaries, its second life began in the Netherlands. After a six-week voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, braving rough seas and harsh conditions, it finally arrived at the port of Rotterdam, ready for a new adventure in a completely different world. Its American roots would live on in the European landscape, with the Dutch roads as its new home.
A thorough restoration by a passionate craftsman
During its early years in the Netherlands, this MGB was thoroughly enjoyed by its new owner, a craftsman at heart. This man worked as a panel beater at a car body repair shop and took the restoration of his beloved car entirely into his own hands. The result is stunning: from top to bottom, this MGB is in excellent condition. The doors, bonnet, and boot fit so perfectly into the body that it almost seems as if it came straight from the factory—or perhaps even better. The craftsmanship shines through, making this MGB an exceptionally well-preserved classic.
The history of the MGB and the rubber bumper
Introduced in 1962, the MGB is perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in British automotive history. Throughout its production, the MGB underwent various changes, the most notable of which occurred in 1974 with the introduction of rubber bumpers. This modification was made to comply with stricter safety regulations in the United States, where a significant number of MGBs were sold. The metal chrome bumpers were replaced with sturdier, shock-absorbing rubber ones. While purists at the time may have been startled by this change, the rubber bumpers have since gained their own charm and uniqueness, especially in the later production years of the MGB.
