This 1978 MG B V8 Roadster has had just one owner from new until 2023 when due to bereavement it passed to another family member and records just two keepers on the V5.

Clearly a much loved car, it started life as a standard Vermilion Red UK supplied RHD MGB Roadster by Henlys of Folkstone.

Between 2002 and 2003 much money was spent on extensive works and upgrades including but not limited to the fitting of a brand new 4.0 Rover V8 engine, 5 speed gearbox, V8 rear axle and associated modifications.

Stated by our vendor to run and drive very well indeed.

The MG comes with a extensive history folder that contains a large amount of invoices for servicing and repair from new until recent years.

Also supplied is a heritage certificate, hand written potted history and V5.
