Introduction
Tom Valle
The timeless British roadster, the MGB is a practical and pretty stalwart in the MG classic lineup.
The MGB was first introduced to the world in 1962 and produced until 1980, the soft-top sports car formula of the MGB stayed relatively simple throughout. The MGB saw a new B-series engine added, this example having been fitted with an uprated 2000cc stage 2 engine. It's good looks, honest charm and simple mechanics made it hugely successful over the years, shortly becoming Britain's best-selling sports car. Still today it is a noticeable favourite among many enthusiasts in the world of classic cars.
This car is coming out of 8 years of ownership and care, having been restored with easily over £12,000 spent to get it to the condition it sits in today, and upgraded early into the current ownership. Finished in a lovely white on black colourway with sporty MG wheels, it stands out on the roads today.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Tom after meeting Roger the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Ask Questions
As this should be a ‘Rubber Bumper’ car, (post Sept 1974) have there been any valence/wing body line changes in the front or rear to enable the chrome bumpers to fit?
That is a technical question for me! I must confess, although I love the MG, I have relied on the expert service of professionals to maintain it, primarily Vermont Classics in Leeds for the big stuff, like engine upgrade etc. The bumper was fitted before I purchased it but from memory, I’m sure I’ve been told a rubber bumper could be easily refitted if desired.
Also, although it isn’t advertised, I do have the original leather hood too, which is included, if someone wanted to take it back to the original.
Hope this helps.
