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. The biggest visual change in the car's history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.
This B Roadster was manufactured in 1977 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 23rd of June 1977. Fitted with the 1798cc B-series straight-four engine with four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the MG is finished in Beige with Tan and Black interior trim. ‘RKW 1R’ has 75,636 recorded miles (at time of consignment) and has had just one owner from new. Initially registered in the vendor’s then business until being put into the vendor's name in 2002. Cadulac treated when three months old, the MG was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust and a new fuel tank a few years previous. ‘RKW 1R’ is offered with the original handbook, passport to service and current V5C.
