1972 MGB Roadster

Registration Number: XEU 180K
Chassis Number: TBA
Recorded Mileage: 89,300 miles

The MGB Roadster is the quintessential British sports car, renowned for its looks and reliable mechanics. Introduced in May 1962 as a successor to the MGA, the MGB became an instant classic, featuring a lightweight monocoque body and a robust 1798cc four-cylinder engine that offered brisk performance. Its timeless lines, combined with a simple yet effective engineering layout, have made it a favourite among enthusiasts for over five decades.

This particular 1972 example has remained remarkably original, finished in its factory shade of Bronze Yellow paint. The car was imported from California in the 1990s to the UK, and professionally converted to right-hand drive and then restored by a local marque specialist. Following this it spent most of the next 20 years in an underground garage, barely covering any miles.

The MGB changed hands in 2024, with recommissioning works carried out. The MG now shows three owners since import, and is in overall solid condition, but displaying some small areas of surface rust and paint blistering. Supplied with UK V5 and a substantial service history file.

Recent updates include a new fuel pump, new fuel lines, cooling pipes, and a complete rewiring of the electrical system, replacing all worn and deteriorated cables. The car offers a perfect basis for further restoration or continued careful preservation. In original specification and in tidy condition, this MGB presents a great opportunity to own a classic British roadster with classic appeal.
