SUMMARY

A very late production MG B with just 9,335 miles from new.

DESCRIPTION

  • This remarkable MG B was built right at the end of production (October 1980) and first registered on 01/04/1981
  • It's finished in Vermillion with a classic late 1970s interior in black with blue/grey 'deckchair' seat covers
  • Prior to our vendor, it was enjoyed by just three previous keepers and has covered a grand total of 9,335 miles from new supported by a substantial history file
  • We understand that it was rust-proofed and injected from new and the first owner covered less than 2,000 miles in her ownership
  • Magazine featured including a 5-page article in Classic Car Magazine when it had covered c.5,000 miles in 2011
  • Fitted with front fog lights, mudflaps and a Moto-Lita steering wheel (original supplied), otherwise it's as it left the factory 44 years ago
  • Supplied with a tonneau, half-tonneau, original books, rust warranty cards and older MOTs
  • Still in excellent condition with the original hood almost as new, this is a much-cherished example of a proper British classic and may turn out to be a very sensible investment

Vehicle History

Remarks

First Registered 01/04/1981, this MGB Roadster is one of the last produced. The mileage is only 9,335 miles. This is backed up by a file of paperwork too exhausting to go through entirely. The car was Rust proofed and injected from new and the first owner only covered less than 2,000 miles in her ownership. The car was featured in a 5 page article in a Classic Car Magazine when it had approx. 5,000 miles in 2011 and was then sold to its last owner who was a MG fanatic, it includes a painting of this and his other MG, and two magazines that it has feature in. The car comes with the original steering wheel, a Mota-lite is fitted, The Tonneau, half tonneau, all the original books, Rust warranty cards, Massive amount of Mot's, and Tax discs. It has been fitted with Front fog lights and 4 x Mudflaps, apart from that it is as it left the factory nearly 44 years ago. Still in absolutely superb condition, with the original hood again almost in as new condition. This is very useable and surely a superb investment that does not come along very often.
