The MGA had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MGB which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B-Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MGA. The first incarnation of the MGB built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MGB roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car.

This ‘pull-handle’ roadster was manufactured in 1965 and is finished in the classic combination of Green matched to a Black interior. Bought as a ‘garage find’ by the vendor in 2016 on the understanding it had been a one owner example, ‘DYS 88C’ has recently been restored to a high standard including a bodywork renovation and repaint plus brake, rear axle and suspension overhauls. The gearbox and overdrive have also been refurbished and a new clutch fitted. The engine has been refreshed too and converted to run on unleaded. Retaining many original features and offered with soft top, hood frame, tonneau cover, refurbished instruments, V5 and a collection of invoices the vendor currently considers the engine, transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim all to be in `excellent' order.
