Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. Based around a monocoque chassis, featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Purchased for investment purposes in June 1991, and in the same ownership since that time, this example had been subject to restoration works carried out between 1983 and 1991 in the previous ownership. Following acquisition, the car suffered mechanical issues (noted in the history file) resulting in Geoff Allen of Abingdon being asked to carry out an engine overhaul (invoice on file). Recently fitted with a new fuel pump and water pump, according to its accompanying BMIHT certificate 'OFD 240F' is a right-hand drive UK home market example produced on the 3^rd July 1967 and despatched to the supplying dealer Joseph Cockshoot of Kidderminster. Finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery, original equipment included wire wheels, overdrive, a heater and an anti-roll bar. The car is offered with a history file, containing much sundry correspondence, invoices, a driver’s handbook, assorted old MOTs and numerous bills relating to the earlier restoration work.
