Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. 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. The biggest visual change in the car's history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

Manufactured in 1980 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, ‘MMG 337W’ was first registered on the 1^st of August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1798cc straight-four B-series engine with the desirable four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the MG is finished in Black with complementary Connolly leather interior upholstery in Cream, along with a Red (recently renewed) hood, as well as the hood cover, tonneau cover and a luggage rack. A restored example, the MGB has a recorded mileage of c.81,800 miles at the time of consignment.

Benefitting from much improvement work over the years, the Roadster was notably fitted with a replacement Gold Seal engine unit in 1991; overhauled overdrive in 2001; and spring kit in 2012. Additional work includes electronic system recommissioning in 2012, with engine timing and tuning and servicing completed the subsequent year. Riding on wire wheels, shod with Dunlop tyres all-round, ‘MMG 337W’ is offered with a history file that includes copies of previous logbooks, MOT certificates dating back to 1990, a large collection of invoices, and a current V5C document.
