Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 MGB Roadster has undergone a comprehensive restoration in the late 1980s, including an engine overhaul and bare-metal respray. Further interior renovation in 2009 and recent mechanical improvements in 2024, along with a history dating back to 1978, make it a desirable classic, reflected in the £6,750 sale price.
Condition
7
The car has been restored and renovated multiple times, with a bare-metal respray and engine overhaul in the late 80s, interior renovation in 2009, and mechanical improvements in 2024. It's running and driving excellently. However, the multiple renovations suggest wear and tear over the years, and the need for reconditioning at various points. This puts it in the 'Very Good' category, indicating it's in overall solid condition with slight wear visible but no prominent dents or damage.

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 1,798cc B-series four-cylinder engine was allied with a four-speed manual transmission.
Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.
This MGB was provided with a comprehensive restoration circa 1989, and is supplied with history going back even further—its MOT record begins in 1978.
From February, 1989, the car was subjected to a bare-metal respray in two-pack Tartan Red.
The block was stripped and overbored to +0.60in.
Hepolite pistons were fitted and the flywheel was lightened by 1½lbs.
The engine received new main and big-end bearings, new timing gear, and a Piper 270 camshaft with new followers.
