Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run.
With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'.
Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission.
Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.
Presented in the ever-popular Flame Red with contrasting Black interior, this MGB Roadster was delivered on 27 th of September, 1972, to Lex Cockshoot Limited of Manchester at that time presented in Teal Blue with Ochre interior.
Over the years, the history file would suggest the car been well maintained, with a large collection of invoices and paperwork dating back as far was 1993.
Notably in 2003, the car was subject to 63 hours of cosmetic and mechanical work with Simon J.
