This charming MG B was in Canada before crossing the Atlantic back to France. It is one of the last MK I models and therefore features the five-bearing engine and anti-roll bar. This example was acquired by the father of its current owner in 1985, mainly because it was in original condition and it also had a rare “Bermuda” hardtop with windows that provide excellent visibility. The bodywork was restored in the early 1990s and the engine was rebuilt in the early 2000s.

 

The blue paint was redone 3 years ago approximately, while retaining the original steel rims (too often replaced by wire wheels). Another detail: chromed luggage rack on the boot lid. On board, the faux leather upholstery has a very nice patina however, for enthusiasts preferring a more modern look, a set of covers will be supplied with the car. Fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust, an optional sports steering wheel and a pair of Marchal fog lights fitted behind the grille, this MG B was used and serviced by the same family for the past 40 years. This car now awaits a new enthusiast to drive around with the wind in his/her hair; or to amaze passersby and connoisseurs with its original hardtop.


Please note that the fuel pump will be replaced by the owner after the sale. Please note that the car is sold without technical inspection.
