Description
A genuine, long-term family-owned MGB Roadster, in the same family for over 40 years. A very well cared-for and much-loved example, always garaged and used as a summer car.
Key Features:
Chrome bumper model (desirable early car)
Finished in original factory Primrose Yellow
Fitted with overdrive (ideal for cruising)
Comes with a very attractive hardtop although this has been rarely used and so the roof section needs a respray - paint chips
Extensive history file
Fully recommissioned and ready to drive
History & Ownership:
This car has a lovely story; it was gifted by my mother to my daughter for her 21st birthday. My mother drove the car into her eighties before it was retired from regular use. It has since remained a cherished family vehicle.
Condition & Restoration:
The car underwent a major restoration approximately 20 years ago, including a full interior retrim. More recently, it has benefited from a further significant restoration, once it was given to my daughter, including:
New doors
New bonnet
Replacement chrome work
Full respray in Primrose Yellow
Photos included in the listing show the extent of this work.
Mechanical:
Original engine, well maintained and never required major work
Regular servicing throughout its life, up until its storage for the last three years
Vehicle has been recommissioned by local specialist dealer and will be given an MOT even though not required.
Correct twin 6-volt battery setup (as per original specification)
After being stored in a dry garage for the past three years, the car has now been fully recommissioned, with all necessary checks and work completed. It starts, runs, and drives as it should.
