In structure the MGB was an innovative, modern design in 1962, utilizing a monocoque structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The roadster was the first of the MGB range to be produced. The body was a pure two-seater; a small rear seat was a rare option at one point. By making better use of space the MGB was able to offer more passenger and luggage accommodation than the earlier MGA while being 3 inches (75 mm) shorter overall. The suspension was also softer, giving a smoother ride, and the larger engine gave a slightly higher top speed.
This MGB is in lovely condition as the current owner has spent time and money on restoring it to a high standard including a new interior new windscreen fitted and a fresh coat of paint. Comes with V5C but is sold with no MOT certificate however it shouldn't take much to get it through.

Sold for £3,500
Estimated at £3,500 - £4,500
