SUMMARY
This fully restored, chrome bumper, 1971 MG B has covered just 38,000 miles and is on offer for the first time by its owner of over 20 years.
DESCRIPTION
- First registered in 1971, this MGB 'chrome bumper' roadster, has covered just 38,000 miles and has been fully restored during its current long-term ownership
- Purchased in 2002, the vehicle was fully resprayed in Midnight Blue, all chrome has been replaced with stainless steel, and the engine overhauled along with upgraded suspension by MG Motorsports and more
- Powered by its 1.8-litre B-Series engine producing around 95bhp, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox with working overdrive
- Sitting on chrome wires and finished in Midnight Blue, it has a very smart black interior featuring polished wood veneers and a Moto-Lita wood rim wheel
- Supplied with an extensive history, including invoices and MOTs as well as photographic evidence of the restoration
- Handsomely presented in a great colour, this well restored, low-mileage British classic is surely a great addition to any collection
