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 four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery, ‘JMA 64K’ was subject to an extensive restoration and upgrade programme between 1992 and 1994 that saw it fitted with a brand-new Heritage bodyshell, Rover 3.5 litre V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. Completed some 12,500 miles ago, the work cost nearly £21,000.

Further improved since entering the current ownership during February 2018, we are informed that over £7,600 has been spent on suspension polybushes, parabolic springs, a re-cored aluminium radiator with larger cooling fan, overhauled carburettors, a gearbox refurbishment, top-end engine work (skimmed cylinder heads etc) and the installation of adjustable electric power steering etc. The vendor rates the condition of the MG’s bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, gearbox and interior trim all as ‘very good’.

‘JMA 64K’ comes accompanied by its V5 Registration Document and numerous receipts / invoices for its 1990s restoration and more recent work.
