The seller offers for sale this 1970 MG B cabriolet, powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
This cabriolet presents in British Racing Green, accompanied by a tan upholstered interior in good condition. Following its import from the United States in 1995, the car underwent a complete off-body restoration. The engine is set up to run on both petrol and LPG, with the LPG tank housed in the boot. A range of upgrades have been fitted over the years, including a Moto Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, chrome wire spoke wheels, new leaf springs, an automatic radio aerial, remote central locking with start interrupt, and a period-style radio. The car has been regularly maintained at a specialist MG garage.
The MG B was produced by the British Motor Corporation from 1962 to 1980 and is one of the best-selling British sports cars ever made, with over half a million units built. Available as an open cabriolet and a fastback GT, it was powered throughout its production life by a 1.8-litre B-Series four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed gearbox. Praised for its accessible performance, classic proportions, and ease of maintenance, the MG B has remained a firm favourite among classic car enthusiasts worldwide. Early chrome-bumper cars from the 1960s and early 1970s are particularly sought after for their cleaner styling.
