Description
1966 MGB Roadster
4 speed with overdrive
Wire wheels
MOT until 18th Aug 2025I have owned this MGB since 1977. For the first eighteen years it was my only car, and took me on a memorable journey from London to Athens via Italy and back through what was then Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary and West Germany to London. There were other unforgettable trips to France and Spain too.
I have always tried to keep the MGB in roadworthy condition and the car recently passed the MOT test and has a new certificate.
However as the car approaches its fiftieth year in my ownership, I feel a new owner could enjoy the benefits of this very practical classic as I have been using it less and less, and indeed I see from the MOT record that I have only driven 1850 miles in it since 2006!
This car is in far from prize winning condition and would take as much TLC as you are prepared to give it. The engine is the original and like the body was subject to a rebuild in the first few years of my ownership. The car is fitted with an aluminium bonnet and has a very long serving stainless steel exhaust. Over the years it has two resprays but would benefit from another before long. This is by no stretch of the imagination a concours classic but would benefit from some sympathetic attention from an enthusiast.
Although fitted with later vinyl seats at present I do have a pair of leather seats in the appropriate colours and there are various spares that would be included with the sale.
The photo is quite flattering and I will aim to put some more up when I can.
