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.
Manufactured in 1971 and being registered in the UK in December 1971. Covering approximately 75,000 miles across the following 45 years. In 2016, ‘WAW 153K’ was subject to the ‘CCHL Rebuild Scheme’ by MG B specialists CCHL, comprehensively overhauling the MG utilising extensive new and reconditioned parts. Encompassing a Heritage body-shell at the cost of approximately £12,000 which was painted in Midnight Blue before being reassembled with a new Ivor Searle MG B engine, a reconditioned gearbox and a complete interior refresh.
With an extensive new parts list which is including new chromework; new power-assisted steering unit; electronic ignition; K&N air filters; polybushing throughout; Mohair hood in Blue; wheels and tyres; bonnet and boot gas struts and much more. Having only covered a total of c.1,800 miles since the CCHL completion, ‘WAW 153K’ is now ready to be used and enjoyed by a new owner.
