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'. Produced on 8th September 1972, this car left the factory as a classic chrome bumper MGB Roadster. When American Federal laws made an impact on stateside car design from 1974; this Roadster benefits from having the chrome that makes them so pretty. From the vendor’s records, it seems the car was once Black. Today, it wears a less oppressive Royal Blue BS106 paintwork.

Over the years the car has been the subject of mechanical and improvements to the bodywork. In February of 1995 the engine was overhauled, a body restoration took place a short time after. In 2000, the car saw some other work to rectify some issues with the bodywork. Jumping to 2021, a new clutch master cylinder was fitted and at a similar juncture, other additions included new door seals and a new carpet set. ‘TST 659L’ has amassed a large collection of invoices for work carried out and parts from specialist suppliers and, particularly from Edinburgh Sports Cars. Finished in Blue with a Cream interior and Black hood it also benefits from wire wheels, a luggage rack and a tonneau cover. The MG is offered with a large collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.
