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.

This example was purchased by CCHL in 2014, having been in previous ownership for some thirty-three years, and was provided with their ‘Rebuild Scheme’ that same year. The scheme includes a heritage body shell, professional painting, a fully reconditioned engine (with unleaded conversion), overhauled gearbox with overdrive and renewal of the clutch system, new wiring harness, renewed braking system, refurbished suspension and axles, new starting equipment, stainless steel exhaust system, considerable cosmetic work, and extensive new parts fitted throughout. Having covered just 4,177 miles since completion (at the time of consignment), the MG entered into current ownership in 2015, equating to just two keepers since CCHL’s completion.

Finished in Old English White with complementing Red leather interior upholstery, carpets, and Mohair hood, the MG is accompanied by a full tonneau cover and hood bag. Costing over £25,000 to build, this example’s specific features include chrome wire wheels; a Zuma RetroSound radio and speakers; interior upgrades with a walnut dashboard, wood rim Moto-lite steering wheel, and RV8 sports seats and headrests; GAZ adjustable shock absorbers; upgraded heater; electronic ignition; K&N air filters; brake servo unit; and cut-off switch. Subject to some further upgrades/improvements in 2015, the MG was provided with an oil cooler, additional engine tuning, and cosmetic tweaks costing some £2,000.

‘NAH 267F’ is offered with a history file that includes a reproduction handbook and service book (which displays 10 entries between 2016 and 2021); MOTs dating back to 2014, and a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2023; details of the CCHL ‘Rebuild Scheme’; an independent engineers report in 2014 shortly after completion giving a clean bill of health; a CD relating to the CCHL build; a BMHIT Heritage Certificate which shows that the car was originally manufactured as a GT but an accompanying Heritage Certificate for the Roadster heritage shell used by CCHL, and sales literature for the heritage shells; ownership history document; a current V5C and two sets of keys. Now ready to be used and enjoyed!
