This is number 52 of the 751 MGB Jubilees built to commemorate 50 years of MG in 1975. It was registered in August 1975 and its odometer shows 87,881 miles. Its last MoT expired in May 2018 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 87,100 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the MGB is now MoT-exempt. The car was restored in 2016 by Woodbridge Classic Cars. Major structural repairs included new inner and outer sills, floor pan and rear wings. All work carried out was recorded photographically and with a receipt. More work has subsequently been carried out by the present owner including poly bushes, drop arms, clutch slave cylinder, prop UJ and oil seals.
According to the vendor, the MGB runs and drives well but on occasions will jump out of third gear when accelerating. It has mainly been used in the summer and stored in the winter, but regularly started up. Present with the car are its V5C, the photos from the 2016 restoration plus its invoice, and receipts for other work from 2006 onwards plus MoTs. There's also notes on its history compiled by a previous owner plus a spare set of keys.
