1977 | MG MGB

There are cars that shout “Power!”, others whisper “Luxury!”. And then there’s the MG MGB – softly breathing into your ear with a charming British accent: “Shall we just cruise down the coastal road, no rush, just style?”

The Roadster that survived the Swinging Sixties

The MG MGB was launched in 1962 – and instantly became the darling of free spirits, bachelors, and anyone looking for a touch of James Bond flair on a modest budget. It remained in production until 1980 – which, for a British sports car, is practically an Olympic lifespan.

Our example hails from 1977 – right out of the era of flared trousers, vinyl records, and orange wallpaper. While all that has long faded into nostalgia, this MGB stands proud as a monument to British engineering with timeless style.

Engineering – Keep it simple, keep it running!

Under the bonnet lives a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine delivering around 95 horsepower – offering more driving pleasure than many modern SUVs with twice the power. The sound? A throaty burble straight from the Cotswolds. The chassis? Firm, honest, and always ready for the next winding road.

The special touch? An automatic transmission – yes, one of the rare MGBs with automatic. Perfect for those who want to cruise without constantly hunting for third gear.

✅ Freshly serviced (revisione & oil change) ✅ New tyres – road-ready!

Design – No one needs more bonnet than this

Classic British proportions: long hood, compact cabin, tidy rear. Clean lines, no gimmicks – that’s how a roadster should look.

The colour? Discreetly British with a twist – like a Savile Row suit that’s ready for adventure. The rubber “safety bumpers,” added for US regulations, now lend the car a distinctive charm.

Interior – A gentleman’s club on wheels

Inside you’re greeted by wood, chrome, and the honest 1970s plastic aesthetic. The seats are restrained yet comfortable, the steering wheel large enough to dock a yacht, and the driving experience? Raw, direct, and utterly authentic – just as a Sunday drive through Surrey should feel.

Personality – No show-off, just charm

This MGB isn’t a museum queen polished to death – it’s been driven, maintained, and loved. Like a good tweed blazer: a touch of patina, full of character.

Verdict – If you have style, you don’t need a Ferrari

The 1977 MG MGB isn’t for show-offs. It’s for people who understand that true class has nothing to do with horsepower or carbon fibre. Buying this car means buying a lifestyle – with a British accent.

If you want attention, buy a Lambo. If you want to fit in, buy a Golf. If you want to be unique – buy this MGB.
