Introduction
Isaac Wass
The archetypal British sports car - reliable, fun and timeless - a remarkable car that a great entry to classic motoring.
Originally introduced in 1962 and produced until 1980, the soft-top sports car formula of the MGB stayed relatively simple throughout. The B-series engine produces 95bhp at 5400rpm, making it a big step up from its predecessor. Its good looks, honest charm and simple mechanics made it hugely successful and it soon became Britain's best-selling sports car.
This particular example underwent extensive restoration in 1992 at a cost of ~£22,000 and has been stored since 2005, until the current owner, purchased it in January 2023 and had the car recommissioned in June at a cost of just over £2,000. It's now ready to be used and enjoyed for the rest of the summer season.
This listing was written from information supplied by Isaac after meeting Roger the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
