First registered in June 1975, this MGB Roadster has been totally restored and substantially uprated by a previous owner. This included the fitment of a fully rebuilt Rover 3.5-litre V8 engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The suspension has also been uprated with Spax shock absorbers all round, while the disc brakes have uprated 4-pot calipers.
The Tartan Red bodywork is said to be in excellent condition as is the interior which includes black leather seats with red piping, a new walnut dash, new carpets and new seat belts. A new hood and tonneau cover have also been fitted along with 15” alloy wheels. Due to have a fresh MOT before the sale, the car is said to drive superbly with an exhilarating turn of speed when required.
