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. Additional Information: Always garaged Previously used as a summer car Currently on SORN but Road Tax is FREE!
