1968 MGB Roadster

Tidy little sportscar with few owners and much recent expenditure; overdrive; wire wheels; walnut dash; servo brakes; Koni shocks; new seat covers; last serviced 300 miles ago; ready to enjoy

First registered in November 1968, this MGB Roadster has had just four owners from new, according to the V5C, our vendor acquiring the car in June 2019 from a dealer in Lymington, the car having spent some years in Northern Ireland prior to that.

The car looks most attractive in British Racing Green with overdrive, wire wheels, wood-rim steering wheel, walnut dash and door cappings. A modern Pioneer CD/radio has also been fitted along with a battery cut-off switch behind the driver’s seat.

Over the last three years the vendor has looked after the car well, with plenty of invoices to show regular servicing and various new parts. The back axle and differential were stripped and rebuilt in 2021 when a new battery was also fitted; it had a new centre armrest in 2020; a new brake servo, handbrake cable, Koni shock absorbers, rear brake cylinders and hood frame were fitted in 2019 when the car was also waxoil treated underneath.

It has been serviced three times since 2019, regardless of the mileage covered, the last service being carried out in June 2021 since when the car has only covered 300 miles. In fact 10 old MOTs (Irish and English) show that the car has only covered some 4,500 miles since 2011, the odometer currently showing 59,995 miles. The current MOT runs to 9^th June 2022 with no advisories recorded.

As you can see in the photos, the car is in generally good order throughout and has been starting promptly and running nicely as we have moved it around on site with good 60psi oil pressure. It also comes with an owner’s handbook and a Haynes workshop manual.
