This classic 1980 MGB Roadster is reassuringly described as a really nice example that has been well cherished. The odometer reads just 55,959 miles and the vendor describes this as “genuine”. They say their duration of ownership is 12 years, and the car has had just five previous keepers. “It has always been kept in the garage when not in use, and also throughout the winter months”. As such, it is in good overall condition, with just minor wear and tear. All tyres, including the spare, are in “great condition” and ‘NVC980W’ has a relatively new stainless steel backbox exhaust.

‘NVC980W’, which was registered on 1 August 1980, also has an extensive history, says the vendor. This includes many years of paperwork and even a collection of original tax discs. Both a cover and soft-top hood are included. Period features such as the polished wire wheels and rear luggage rack are charming details too.

The MGB was revealed in 1962 and remained in production until 1980. The archetypal British classic sports car, well over half a million were produced, and support for the Abingdon-built model remains superb even today. The two-seat soft-top Roadster was the core model, while there was also an MGB GT 2+2 coupe, a six-cylinder MGC and eight-cylinder MGB GT V8. The model was continuously evolved during its lifetime, with key changes including a new dashboard in 1972 and the well-known ‘rubber bumpers’ in 1974. The MGB was later revived as the MG RV8 by Rover Group in 1992, using bodyshells from British Motor Heritage.

In summary:

• 1980 MGB Roadster
• Odometer reads less than 60,000 miles
• Cherished car includes many years of paperwork
