The vendor reports that he is impressed with the car’s performance, the tuned engine sounds great and has a lot of torque. He further says that the car drives well, handles amazingly and runs reliably and consistently with a firm but smooth ride. The two videos in the gallery give a tiny flavour of this.

Along with its rival, the Triumph Spitfire, the ‘B’ might seem something of a ubiquitous classic, and we have sold many of them, but their popularity means that they are simple to maintain with parts easy to come by, making ownership fun and usually trouble free. There are MG clubs everywhere running numerous events and whether you join or not, you will always be eligible to give and receive an ‘MG wave’ when passing others out enjoying the country roads on a sunny day.

While asking prices on chrome-bumpered MGB Roadsters vary hugely depending on the recency and extent of their restoration, we estimate that £10,000 - £14,000 is a good range for this good-looking and very usable example with still a few small jobs to do to achieve a “fully sorted” status.

This particular car is located with the vendor in Kennington, London; please use the ‘Contact Seller’ button at the top of the listing to get in touch. Feel free to ask any questions or make observations in the comments section below, or try our ‘Frequently Asked Questions’.

BORING, but IMPORTANT: Please note that whilst we at The Market always aim to offer the most descriptive and transparent auction listings available, we cannot claim they are perfect analyses of any of the vehicles for sale. We offer far greater opportunity for bidders to view, or arrange inspections for each vehicle thoroughly prior to bidding than traditional auctions, and we never stop encouraging bidders to take advantage of this. We do take a good look at the vehicles delivered to our premises for sale, but this only results in our unbiased personal observations, not those of a qualified inspector or other professional, or the result of a long test drive.

Additionally, please note that most of the videos on our site have been recorded using simple cameras which often result in 'average' sound quality; in particular, engines and exhausts notes can sound a little different to how they are in reality.

Please note that this is sold as seen and that, as is normal for used goods bought at auction, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 does not apply. See our FAQs for more info, and feel free to inspect any vehicle as much as you wish.
