The seller offers for sale this 1970 MG MGB Roadster, powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission with overdrive. Presented in classic British Racing Green with chrome bumpers and wire wheels, this MGB Roadster is a handsome example of one of Britain’s most beloved sports cars. The combination of the deep green bodywork, bright chrome and spoked wheels gives the car a timeless and instantly recognisable appearance, while the mohair hood allows for open-top motoring in the traditional roadster manner. The interior follows the simple, driver-focused layout that has always been part of the MGB’s charm.
This particular car benefits from an engine rebuild carried out in 2024 and has been converted to run on unleaded petrol, with electronic ignition fitted and a working overdrive. The seller reports sill replacement and a respray as part of its history, and the car has been in the same ownership for fourteen years and always garaged. It is in good condition and drives, brakes and shifts.
The MGB was introduced in 1962 and went on to become one of the most successful and widely produced British sports cars ever made, remaining in production until 1980. Its monocoque construction was advanced for its time, and its blend of accessible performance, sharp handling and affordable running costs made it a favourite among enthusiasts on both sides of the Atlantic. Today the chrome-bumper roadsters in particular are cherished as quintessential classic British sports cars, and a well-sorted example such as this offers an engaging and rewarding ownership experience.
