MGB Roadster
SOLD - MGB ROADSTER
Engine Capacity: 1798cc
Reg No: PTU 139C
Colour: Tartan Red
Fuel: Petrol
The first incarnation of the MGB built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model’s top speed was more than 100mph.
This desirable ‘pull-handle’ roadster was manufactured in 1965 as a left-hand drive export model. Fitted with the 1798cc straight-four B-series engine with manual transmission and optional overdrive. The MG B was refinished in Tartan Red in 2021 with black leather with red piping interior upholstery.
This MG has spent time in both the Queensland area of Australia and a period across the 1980’s and 1990’s in Oklahoma, United States before returning to the UK in 1997.
Converted to right-hand drive from the original left at some stage in its life, the MGB has had two former keepers since repatriation in 1997.
Recently recommissioned after a year of storage with the addition of silver wire wheels and a new hood and carpets.
