The MGB is a sports car launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA.
Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster. a coupé with 2+2 seating
was added in 1965. The MGB was a relatively modern design at the
time of its introduction. utilising a monocoque structure instead
of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the
MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing
costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Wind-up windows
were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty
of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time
of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds
aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one
of the MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc B-Series
engine produced 95bhp at 5. 00rpm and the engine was upgraded in
October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft in an effort to improve
reliability. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature
controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and
passenger in a 30mph impact.

This very early MGB Roadster with wire wheels and pull out door
handles was purchased by the vendor. who owns a restoration shop. br/>in 2010. The car was put straight into the workshop. stripped down
and then subject to a ground up restoration to the highest
standards making sure that the door. bonnet and boot lid gaps are
perfect. The only modification from the original specification is a
replacement gearbox with overdrive has been fitted. Finished in the
original colour of Powder Blue with the correct black seats piped
in white and black soft top roof. this MGB Roadster is supplied
with a V5C registration document. an MoT test certificate which
expires in November. the original bill of sale. the original
service book and a file containing old MoT test certificates and
invoices. This is an extremely pretty and properly restored classic
British motorcar in excellent order throughout.
