Lot details

Registration No: UYH 214M
Chassis No: GHN5295981G
MOT: Exempt

  • Long-term ownership of twenty-two years (from 1998 until 2020)
  • Recent new hood and offered with full accompanying weather equipment
  • Attractive colour scheme with Blaze Orange paintwork
  • Desirable overdrive example

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.

Chassis number GHN5295981G was manufactured in 1973 and was supplied new to the home market, being first registered on the 23rd of August that year. Finished in the striking colour combination of Blaze Orange paintwork with nicely contrasting Dark Blue vinyl seats and carpets, as well as a Black hood which has recently been renewed, and Black weather equipment (comprising full-length tonneau cover and hood cover). A desirable overdrive example, the MG was retained in long-term ownership of twenty-two years between 1998 and 2020 before the owner sadly passed away with the Roadster being acquired by the previous owner.

Providing ‘UYH 214M’ with a new alternator, two replacement chassis rails, a new fuel pump, clutch and slave cylinders, rear brake shoes, and servicing, since then the MG has also received a new rev-counter. Showing a recorded mileage of c.33,300 at the time of consignment, chassis GHN5295981G is offered with a history file that comprises MOT history, a few invoices, and a current V5C document, and a BMIHT Heritage Certificate has been ordered to be added to the file.
