The seller offers for sale a 1964 MG MGB cabriolet with manual transmission and a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine. Built in February 1964, this early-production example was exported to the United States before being imported to the Netherlands in June 1993 with 42,000 miles. The car has been carefully maintained, with a complete service history since 1997 and a confirmed authentic mileage. Both the engine and body are original and matching, and the vehicle has never suffered significant damage. The paintwork remains the original Tartan Red, with only the bonnet resprayed in 2020 due to stone chips. The interior features original black leather seats, a classic dashboard, and instruments in working order. The car starts smoothly, produces no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts precisely. The MGB has been stored in a heated garage and comes complete with accessories including a windscreen, spare spoked wheel, and car cover. It holds a valid technical inspection and is ready to drive.
The MG B is one of the most iconic British sports cars of the 1960s, admired for its simplicity, lightness, and elegant proportions. Introduced in 1962, it featured a monocoque body and independent suspension, offering a spirited yet comfortable driving experience. The 1.8-litre engine delivers a satisfying balance of power and flexibility, making the MG B a pleasure on winding roads and relaxed drives alike. Its robust mechanicals, abundant parts supply, and active enthusiast community make ownership straightforward and rewarding. The 1964 model, particularly in its original specification and colour, represents a highly desirable early version with timeless appeal and lasting collector value.
