Description

The 1971 MGB Roadster is a classic British two-seat sports car that epitomizes style and driving pleasure of its era. With its sleek chrome bumpers, wire wheels, and low-slung design, it captured the essence of open-top motoring. Powered by a 1.8-litre inline-four engine, it offered lively performance paired with nimble handling. Known for reliability and simplicity, the MGB Roadster became an icon for enthusiasts. Its timeless charm, affordable parts, and enduring popularity keep it a beloved classic today.

Originally registered in July 1971, this stylish British classic has benefitted from a complete, photographic restoration. The works undertaken came to more than £20,000. This stunning car presents well in red coachwork with a contrasting black interior and we are told, is an absolute joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and a heritage certificate. The estimate for this car seems extremely realistic given its condition and the amount spent. Consigned by Dominic Lake
