1967 MG MGB Roadster

First registered on New Year’s Day 1967, this distinctive MGB is finished in Vermillion red and features a later-style interior trimmed in black vinyl with red piping, complemented by a black vinyl hood.

Believed to have been restored in 1986 by MG specialist John Hills of Redditch, the car carries an under-bonnet plaque designating it as a “John Hills Special Limited Edition”. While the exact specification of the special edition is undocumented, this example benefits from a number of carefully chosen upgrades.

It has been fitted with a later all-synchromesh gearbox and LH-Type overdrive unit, offering smoother shifting and improved long-distance usability compared to the original setup. Further enhancements include Lumenition electronic ignition, an electric cooling fan, and a stainless steel exhaust system. More recently, the car is believed to have been fitted with an MGOC power steering kit, making it notably easier to handle at low speeds.

Other features include a leather-bound roll hoop, chrome luggage rack, alloy rocker cover, sill plates, and Minilite-style alloy wheels, presenting a purposeful yet classic appearance.

Cherished by the former owner for over 30 years, the car has covered just under 39,000 miles since its restoration. We understand it has been continuously garaged and well-maintained throughout.

A well-prepared and tastefully upgraded MGB, offering classic looks with enhanced drivability — ideal for both touring and local events.
