The Gold Cup 2025 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction

 
Lot 26
 

1976 MG B Roadster
***NO RESERVE*** Fitted with an overdrive transmission and Minilite-style wheels

Registration – PTO 244R

Chassis No. – GHN5-414638G

M.O.T. – Exempt

Odometer – 37,098

A well-presented and well-sorted example of Britain’s beloved roadster, this 1976 MGB is described by the vendor as a real pleasure to drive and has been cherished throughout the current ownership. Displaying an unwarranted but highly credible 37,098 miles, the car benefits from the desirable overdrive gearbox and a number of sensible upgrades that enhance both performance and reliability.

Recent work has included the fitment of a new clutch, master and slave cylinders, as well as a brand-new oil cooler with new pipework to and from the engine. The vendor also informs us the engine has been fully rebuilt, with improved breathing thanks to twin K&N air filters. Further enhancing its usability and appeal, the MGB features a brand-new hood, stylish Mini Lite-style wheels, and Lucas fog lamps, giving it a classic, sporting stance.

Finished in red with contrasting black interior, this chrome-bumpered example offers excellent value and usability, and would be equally at home on the open road or as part of a summer show circuit.

In summary:

- Fitted with desirable overdrive gearbox and upgraded K&N air filters

- Benefits from a recent engine rebuild and multiple new mechanical components

- Offered without reserve
