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.

A superb recently restored MGB Roadster is presented in red and with the benefit of the cosmetic surgery that has seen the removal of the rubber bumpers in favour of the more desirable look of the chrome bumper models. With restoration work, new panels were utilised as well as a new roof and a leather interior. This example potentially represents good value as the car has already been subject to restoration, so a new owner can begin to enjoy it. The vendor describes the bodywork and paintwork as excellent and engine, electricals, transmission and interior trim as good. The Roadster has an MOT until August 2022 and currently displays 85,000 miles.
