1974 MG MGB Roadster

Finished in striking Flame Red with a beautifully contrasting Beige leather interior, this 1973 MGB Roadster presents as a highly usable and enjoyable classic that has clearly benefited from significant investment throughout its life.

Extensively restored during the early 2000s, the car remains a testament to the quality of the work carried out. However, the restoration is now over twenty years old and, cosmetically, the car would benefit from a refresh in a number of areas. It remains an honest and attractive example, offering an excellent opportunity for its next owner to improve and personalise while continuing to enjoy the car on the road.

Mechanically, the car is particularly impressive. In 2003 it underwent a comprehensive mechanical rebuild and upgrade programme, centred around a fully rebuilt and blueprinted engine. The specification includes a lightened and balanced crankshaft, Stage 2 cylinder head, uprated camshaft, duplex timing chain, new oil pump and bearings, together with a Kenlowe electric cooling fan for improved reliability and cooling performance.

The chassis and suspension also received substantial attention, including SPAX adjustable dampers, new road springs throughout and an uprated anti-roll bar, resulting in a responsive and confidence-inspiring driving experience that complements the MGB's sporting character perfectly.

This is a superb driver's classic with a strong mechanical specification, offering the ideal balance of immediate usability and future potential. Whether enjoyed as it stands or treated to cosmetic improvements over time, it represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a mechanically well-sorted MGB Roadster.
