1977 MGB Roadster

Description

Entry level MGB to use and improve; recent new clutch; deck-chair style interior; extensively restored in the early/mid '90s

Dating from April 1977, this rubber-bumper MGB is one we’d consider a ‘use and improve’ example with scope to enjoy whilst titivating the car here and there to get it up to par.  By that we mean you could improve the paintwork if you wish, fit a new hood, tidy up the interior etc – but by no means is it a bad car – it starts, runs, drives and stops.

Under the bonnet, we find the familiar 1798cc four-cylinder B-series petrol engine driving the rear wheels via four-speed manual transmission with overdrive which emits that typically lovely and immediately identifiable MGB exhaust note.

The history file includes the V5C showing 10 former keepers (it is 47 years old remember), owned by the vendor since 1992, an older V5C, useful Haynes manual, 9 old MOTs, many photos of the car pre, during and post older restoration and a ream of historic bills including some more recent work in 2023 totaling £623 for ignition and fuel system parts and another £504 for a replacement clutch.

Historic bills on file show the car was restored during the early/mid '90s at considerable cost with many new panels as shown in the accompanying photos. On offer here at no reserve, it could be spoodled up over time as desired.
