HISTORY
The MG B: a popular sports car as it should be: lightweight, agile and a joy to drive. This Roadster is a very attractive and fresh example, beautifully finished in Old English White with a black leather interior, original chrome bumpers and wire wheels with a classic look. It was manufactured in 1972 and delivered new in the United States (as were most of them). As a result, the car has remained rust-free. In 1996, the car was imported to the Netherlands, where it has been cherished by enthusiasts. The last owner has mainly used the car for touring.

EXTERIOR
The bodywork is very neat and free of rust and damage. The paintwork is eye-catching and remarkably fresh. The rubbers and lighting are also in good condition. The wire wheels have good tyres and red-painted brake pads at the front give the car a sporty touch. Nice accessories include the luggage rack and tow bar. The original chrome bumpers are free of significant damage. The soft top is also in good condition with no tears or damage, and the fastenings work well.

INTERIOR
The black interior is still very attractive with no damage and exudes an English atmosphere. Due to its year of manufacture, it is equipped with comfortable amenities, such as a centre armrest and a beautiful three-spoke steering wheel covered in leather. The interior is also equipped with heating and the overdrive provides a pleasant “5th gear”. The boot has room for the spare wheel.

TECHNICAL
Under the bonnet, it is a work of art to behold: dry, clean and the engine block gleams at you. It is equipped with electric ignition, an oil cooler, alternator, Kenlo van, renewed master brake and clutch cylinders. In addition, the exhaust has been renewed. Technically, the MG is well maintained and starts, drives and shifts excellently. In short: a magnificent example of a true driver's car, an iconic car ready for summer to put a smile on your face.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The MG B succeeded the MG A in 1963, a car that was already quite popular for MG - part of The British Motor Company (BMC) - with over 100,000 units sold. The MG B would be produced until 1980, with over half a million units ultimately being produced. In addition to the roadster, other variants were also produced, such as the MG B GT three-door 2+2 coupé (1965-1980), the six-cylinder MG C (1967-1969), and the eight-cylinder MG B GT V8. With its 1.8-litre engine and 95 hp, the MG B was considerably more powerful than the 1.6-litre MG A. In addition to performance and handling, the MG B had to score highly in terms of safety and affordability. This combination made the car a great success. The body is self-supporting and the low centre of gravity and use of aluminium body parts ensure a low weight of 970 kg and a high degree of manoeuvrability. The independent suspension system, in turn, enhances comfort. In short: a great success at the height of the British car industry. An ideal classic for touring, holiday trips or simply to cherish.
