The seller offers for sale this 1966 MG MGB, powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission with overdrive. This early chrome-bumper roadster is finished in red over a black leather interior, riding on wire wheels and fitted with a number of attractive extras. According to the seller, the car is well kept and carries a pleasing appearance, with chromed details including a rear luggage rack, a period-correct radio and the overdrive gearbox that makes these cars so relaxed at speed. The seller notes that the valuation was based in part on price-guide information and market research.
The MGB was launched in 1962 and became one of the most successful and beloved sports cars Britain ever produced. Its monocoque construction was modern for its time, giving the car a stiffer, more refined platform than its predecessors, while the 1.8-litre B-series engine provided dependable performance and a characterful soundtrack. The early chrome-bumper cars, such as this 1966 example, are particularly sought after for their clean, classic styling and are widely regarded as the most desirable of the long MGB production run.
With its straightforward mechanicals, plentiful parts availability and engaging driving character, the MGB remains one of the most accessible and enjoyable classic cabriolets on the market. This well-equipped chrome-bumper example, with wire wheels, leather trim and overdrive, is a particularly appealing specification of an enduring British favourite.
