Description From 13-year ownership; fresh from a period in storage; starting on the button; offered at an enticing guide price First registered in June 1976, this eye-catching yellow B Roadster is only up for sale due to the vendor's poor health.
Sat in storage for the previous couple years, this MG is crying out for some regular use and a bit of TLC.
Coming from 13-year ownership we have little in the history folder apart from the V5C, previous MOT certificates and a couple of invoices from the MGB Hive dated 2009 and 2017 for odd bits and bobs including steering rack gaitors, handbrake cable, bulbs, headlight parts etc.
Starting on the button, this MG has been driving nicely round our site and is keen to find a new owner who can take her to the next level.
