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 is a home market, right-hand drive MGB Roadster that has been in the custodianship of the current keeper since 2017, following previous long-term ownership. In the 1990s, 'JVC 750E' was the subject of an extensive restoration by Halls Garage, who also looked after the car for the long-term owner. A Fast Road specification power plant has overdrive and includes the relevant manifold, cam and exhaust system with a new distributor offering electronic ignition. The Fast Road engine was set up on a rolling road in June 2020. An unleaded fuel-appropriate cylinder head has been fitted for longevity. In 2018, a new clutch was fitted and the second gear synchro was replaced. A recent set of 72-spoke wire wheels add to the period 'looks' whilst a new hood frame plus new Double Duck hood keeps the drips away more effectively. 'JVC 750E' is offered with handbook, a large collection of invoices including from Halls Garage, old MOTs dating back to 1991, tool kit, Tonneau cover, Heritage Certificate and V5C. The overriders, number plate, fixings and original steering wheel are also included in the sale.
