The most
At this stage, the MGB is such an iconic classic that we'd wager every enthusiast in the world knows its impact. The MGB scene is also one of the most dynamic: huge club support, excellent parts availability, a fun and engaging drive, and low maintenance costs make this one of the most operational classics available.
This ex-American example arrived in France in 2023 and underwent a complete restoration, resulting in a superb version of this model. The 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine is still as powerful as it was in its day, and we are told that it is an ideal car for Sunday drives, capable of integrating perfectly into modern traffic.
