Introduced in 1962, the MG B 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 MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.

Finished in Red with a Black interior and chrome wire wheels ‘VVU 599L’ was originally supplied new in the Manchester area and is a RHD home market car. Fitted with working overdrive, the MG has been the subject of much expense in current ownership. Described by the vendor as in ‘Very Good condition’ and an ‘Excellent runner the MG has covered minimal mileage since it was the subject of an engine overhaul.

A list of recent work carried out up until June 2024, includes some minor restoration, a new water pump, radiator, fan, belt, pulley replacement, new front springs, engine servicing including engine oil, new plugs, leads, distributor cap, oil and air filters, stainless steel exhaust plus fresh gearbox oil and axle oil. The MG B’s history file contains photographs of a previous bodywork restoration plus old MOT certificates, Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices, a fresh MOT (19th June 2025) with ‘no advisories’ and a current V5C document.
