The seller offers for sale this 1966 MG MGB MK1, a classic British roadster presented in beautiful condition after a restoration. The car underwent a two-year rebuild by a former MG specialist, including the bodywork, engine, clutch, and brakes. Since the restoration, the MGB has been carefully maintained and remains in superb mechanical and visual condition. The 1800 cc four-cylinder engine starts at the first turn of the key and delivers its power smoothly through a manual four-speed gearbox. The car drives precisely, with strong braking and fluid gear changes.
The exterior paint was redone to a high standard, showing an attractive shine and clean panel fit. Its wire wheels are in beautiful condition, adding to the car’s authentic 1960s appearance. The black Alpaga soft-top is complete, including matching side screens, and fits well. Inside, the black leather upholstery shows a light patina without damage, the dashboard and door panels are in fine condition, and instruments are functional. The car has a valid technical inspection.
