Introduction
Kristina Leikaite
The tough, fun, and timeless British MGB finished in a deep blue is arguably the perfect summer classic.
Introduced to the world in 1962 and produced until 1980, the soft-top sports car formula of the MGB stayed relatively simple throughout. A B-series engine now produced 95bhp at 5400rpm a big step up from its predecessors. It was hugely successful with its handsome looks, honest charm, and straightforward mechanics, shortly becoming Britain's best-selling sports car.
This example is coming out of 4 years of ownership, and has just been through a light bit of recommissioning work having been in storage, it's now ready for the brighter days ahead.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Kristina after meeting David the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi David, can I ask you to confirm if the mileage is genuine from new and can you advise how many previous owners its had?
Hi I have checked the paperwork pictures and for some reason the receipt for a Exchange speedo in January 97 is missing which is in the file and also the V5 stating 8 previous owners. Dave
What is your best guess on total mileage then?
I wouldn’t like to guess that from 1972 to 97 as it didn’t concern me with having a exchange engine in 99 and all the work done before and what i have continued with. Dave
Cheers David. Sorry, I missed that it had a new engine in 99.
No problem
Hi David. Does the car need any additives to regular unleaded petrol?
Hi Cormac The engine is unleaded and doesn’t need additives. Dave
Hi. I take it the roadster does not have overdrive ? Thanks
Hi Martin The roadster is fitted with overdrive if you look at photo 39 in the interior, the switch is next to the fuel gauge. Thanks Dave
Hi I am down in Devon and interested in your car. What is the engine bay like, and the underneath. I noticed a tiny bit of rust on the front headlight is there anything elsewhere.
Hi Andy as you can see in the photos and video the engine bay is in good condition, and the underneath there is surface rust as showing in the video on the front suspension which i could have had addressed it but was advised not to as it might have made people think i was trying to cover serious problems which i have left for the next owner to paint or underseal. Yes there’s a tiny bit of rust showing on both headlights but nothing else i have noticed, i hope this helps thank Dave.
Thanks
