The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupe with 2+2 seating was added in 1965. The MGB was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Wind-up windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds aided by the relatively light weight of the car.

This lovely cherished example of one of Britain's favourite sports cars is presented in red with black interior and has the benefit of nearly new hood. Its lively 1800 engine is mated to a manual gearbox with overdrive. The car was purchased by the present owner's father in 2013 and has been in a dry garage since and was declared SORN in 2017. Since then and recently, the engine has been re conditioned and the car has been lightly re commissioned, resulting in a car that can be driven straight away. These are fun sports cars to drive and enjoy a great following by their car club where spares and events can be accessed. Consigned by James Good
