1970 MG B ROADSTER

1798cc, manual. This Flamenco Red MG B Roadster has reportedly been dry-stored for 30 years, and owned by its present keeper since 2014. He has fitted a reconditioned engine and gearbox, stainless exhaust and a pair of New Old Stock doors, and completed the rebuild which had been started by the previous owner.

The car comes with a BMIHT Certificate, which tells us that SDB 531J was built in August 1970 and supplied to the Lex Cockshoot dealership in Greater Manchester, equipped with wire wheels, tonneau cover, foldaway hood and servo brakes. Its history file also contains several receipts, MoT certificates and the latest V5C in the vendor's name. The odometer is reading around 11,685 miles, and there have been 6 registered keepers from new.

The original overdrive is supplied with the car, and the vendor describes this as “possibly in need of reconditioning”.
