Following its replacement of the MGA in 1962, the MGB was steadily updated during its 18-year reign. The MKII of 1967 brought a superior manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for a standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new facia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later, 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 MG B was manufactured in 1978 and was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 12^th of April 1978. Fitted with the 1798cc straight-four engine and four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, the Roadster was originally finished in white, however, when restored was changed to the current Porsche red with black interior upholstery. ‘DLG 813S’ entered into current ownership in 2007 and has a recorded mileage of 27,367 miles at the time of consignment.

‘DLG 813S’ was in the previous custodianship from 2002 and in 2004 the then owner embarked on a comprehensive restoration of the Roadster. The MG was changed from the original rubber-bumper configuration to the chrome bumper style as well as the colour change from white to red. The MG has benefitted from being provided with a new starter motor, wiper motor and an overhauled fuel pump in 2021 as well as being serviced in 2018 with minimal mileage since. Offered with a large history file which comprises the restoration photographs; numerous invoices from the restoration; a vast quantity of invoices from subsequent years; several past MOT certificates and a current V5C.
