Description

Exceptionally low mileage Limited Edition MGB only 10,500 from new. One of only 420 MGB LE roadsters built in the last year of manufacture. Purchased new in August 1981 by Mrs Margaret Hayes, owner of Broadheads Garage in Cheshire and owned by her until 2017 when the car had only done 3500 miles. The car was re-commissioned in 2017/18 and electronic ignition added as well as new alternator, fuel pump and water pump. Numerous other parts were replaced. All invoices retained. More recently front brake disks and pads were replaced and front suspension polybushed. Bodywork like new. Tyres and full size alloy spare all in great condition with plenty of tread. The car has been MOT'd every year since 2018 (although it is MOT exempt as over 40 years old). Most recent MOT carried out on 7/4/26, when the mileage was just 10,313 , passed without any faults or advisories. Less than 400 miles since last service. Very reliable, runs well and great fun to drive. 4 speed with overdrive in 3rd and 4th. Perfect for club runs and classic car events. Cheap to insure and zero road tax. Also has a hood cover for when the top is down, and original British Leyland tonneau cover. Haynes manual included. ( NB Road Tax is Zero - ignore Autotrader's figure)
