1974 MGB ROADSTER

KEY FACTS

  • A delightful example of the characterful British roadster, presented in excellent overall condition following a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration.
  • Under the bonnet is a 1.8-litre B-series inline-four engine, delivering around 95bhp to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission
  • This chrome-bumper MGB boasts an extensive history file documenting its nut-and-bolt rebuild, which included respraying, undersealing, and refurbishing the gearbox and engine, which now runs on unleaded fuel.
  • The car comes complete with a BMIHT certificate showing its original factory record.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • This MGB has been resprayed in original hue of Teal Blue, with a black convertible hood and a contrasting retrimmed tan leather interior.
  • It rides on a set of 15-inch wire wheels, which feature the correct three-eared knock-off wheel nuts.
  • Features include leather-edged MG over-mats, a wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel and chrome-rimmed Smiths gauges.
  • Included in the sale are the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a folder documenting the car’s restoration, a raft of invoices and historic MOT test certificates, the correct workshop manual, tonneau cover, spare wheel, jack and toolkit.

CONDITION

  • There is no known bodywork damage.
  • The Teal Blue paintwork presents very well indeed, with no significant flaws or blemishes to note.
  • Moving inside, the tan leather-trimmed cabin is in good condition, with some minor use-related wear to the driver’s seat bolster and gear knob.
  • There are no mechanical or electrical faults, and no warning lights are present on the dashboard.
  • Due to its age, the car is exempt from mandatory MOT testing. However, an MOT test was performed on 2 April 2019 at 82,537 miles, when the car registered a clean first-time pass. The owner states that the car will undergo a fresh MOT test in readiness for its new owner.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • A full service was performed at 84,565 miles, which also included replacement of the brake discs and pads.
