This pretty MGB Roadster, offered with no reserve, is a real gem. Registered in January 1982, it’s among the last new MGBs to be registered, after production ceased in 1980. The vendor has owned it for the past decade and undertaken a full restoration during that time, including a full respray in Pageant blue with a matching blue soft-top. Notably, although it is a late-model MGB, ‘CKC100X’ has been converted to the chrome bumpers of earlier models, making it a desirable blend of older look and newer car. The wire wheels also enhance the period 1960s appearance. The 1782cc four-cylinder engine has a stage 2 head, while the four-speed manual gearbox is fitted with overdrive. Engine, gearbox and electrics are in ‘excellent’ condition, as are the paintwork and interior.
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 by Rover Group in 1992, using bodyshells from British Motor Heritage; the MG RV8 is a collectable in itself.
In summary:
- Fully restored MGB Roadster
- One of the last MGBs to be registered
- Chrome bumpers and wire wheels give a period 1960s look
