The seller offers for sale this 1977 MG MGB, powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.
Finished in British Racing Green with a black mohair soft top, this example has been carefully maintained by an enthusiast over a long period. The engine was fully overhauled in 2023. The car is fitted with chrome wire wheels, a chrome luggage rack, a tonneau cover, a 123 electronic ignition system, and an electric cooling fan. The interior features a walnut dashboard, a Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel, and reupholstered seats. The odometer shows 27,000 miles. The vehicle is Belgian-registered and located in the Antwerp region. A British Heritage Certificate confirming the car’s authenticity is included.
The MG MGB was produced from 1962 to 1980 at the Abingdon factory in England and became one of the best-selling British sports cars of all time. Designed by Don Hayter, the roadster offered monocoque construction, a lively B-series four-cylinder engine, and rack-and-pinion steering in a compact, elegant body. The later rubber-bumper cars of the mid-1970s were produced primarily for the North American market, though chrome-bumper examples such as this one remained available in Europe. Today the MGB enjoys one of the strongest classic car clubs and parts-support networks of any post-war British sports car.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
