1969 MG B Roadster

KEY FACTS This MGB MkII Roadster is a charming and reportedly extensively restored classic British roadster, presented as a reportedly concours runner-up example. Powered by a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This original Australian-market model passed compliance in January 1969. The odometer indicates 8,540 miles, though this is not warranted, and the seller states that this is the mileage covered since the completion of the restoration. This example has reportedly previously been a concours runner-up, and has benefited from an extensive rotisserie restoration. Build year: 1969 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This MGB MkII Roadster is finished in green over a black leatherette-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 14-inch cross-spoke wire wheels with chrome two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes a soft-top, a full tonneau cover, a top-tinted windscreen, a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, a Kriesler radio, push-out front quarter light windows, a heater, and overdrive. Accompanied by an extensive folder of history, a CD of restoration photos, and the original steering wheel and centre hub. One ignition key is included.
