• Current registered keeper since 1990
• Part of a private collection and so little used in recent years but recently recommissioned
• The subject of an extensive restoration and still said to be 'immaculate underneath'
• Painted wire wheels, overdrive, Red-piped Black upholstery

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 four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry making it among the most practical and cost effective of all classic cars.

Showing just five previous keepers to its V5C Registration Document and in the current ownership since 1990, this handsome MG B Roadster has previously benefited from an extensive, ‘ground up’ restoration. Finished in Red with Black leather upholstery piped in Red, the two-seater is said to be ‘body coloured and immaculate’. Sparingly used as a part of a private collection, ‘GPP 488G’ has recently been treated to ‘a full recommissioning’. Riding on period correct Silver-painted wire wheels and boasting overdrive, this appealing B Roadster would make a great summer companion.
