SUMMARY
Chrome-bumper Roadster in Harvest Gold from long term ownership.
DESCRIPTION
- First registered in 1972, this MG B 'chrome bumper' roadster was purchased by its current owner in June 2009 and has remained in his heated garage with occasional dry day use ever since
- It's finished in Harvest Gold with a black hardtop over a black vinyl interior and sits on Minilite-style alloy wheels
- During current ownership, it's benefited from a stainless steel manifold and exhaust, reconditioned gearbox and a new clutch
- Supplied with an in-depth history file dating back to the 1970s and its Heritage Certificate
- MG Bs tend to be overlooked as there are so many around but they are good looking, affordable classics that go and handle well and with the top down on a summer's day, represent all that we love about British sports cars
