Description
With us at RFH Classics we are delighted to offer this quite remarkable 1966 (D) MGB Roadster, a two-owner car that has covered less than 50,000 miles from new and survives today with an exceptional degree of originality.
Supplied new by University Motors of London W1 in May 1966, its story is supported by an extraordinary history including the original purchase invoice, first owner's handwritten journal and an MG Owners Club feature dedicated to the car.
The original University Motors invoice remains with the MGB and records factory specified extras including a heater, full tonneau cover and workshop manual.
Remarkably, the workshop manual still accompanies the car today, together with an original hardtop believed to have been with the car from new.
Its first owner would go on to keep the MGB for some 49 years, with the car only passing to its second custodian in 2015.
What makes this MGB so unusual is not simply its two-owner history or low mileage, but the level of originality ...
