If one car was to represent all we love about classic car ownership and driving, it would likely have to be the MGB. Abingdon’s long-lived and much-loved roadster remains one of the most popular sports cars the whole world over and they’re still a popular basis for restoration. Here is a very smart and beautifully restored 1970 ‘chrome bumper’ example.
Work began when its previous owner dismantled the car in 1990, The MG has now reportedly covered around 6, 000 careful miles is running and driving brilliantly. Presented in lovely order both mechanically and cosmetically, this little red roadster is not one to be missed.
