Registration No: DBE 56K
Chassis No: GHN5274402G
MOT: May 2022

• The subject of an extensive 'nut and bolt' restoration over the last two years
• A home market car complete with its original engine and period power assisted steering
• Said to 'drive very well' and to have covered less than 10,000 miles since 2008

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Finished in Red with Black leather upholstery, ‘DBE 56K’ really has to be seen in the metal to appreciate the amount of work and new parts which have gone into its extensive ‘nut and bolt’ restoration over the last two years. Highly unusual in being fitted with a period power steering kit, the two-seater is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regard to its original engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Showing some 71,000 unwarranted miles to its odometer (less than 10,000 of which have been accumulated since 2008), the MG is unsurprisingly said to ‘drive very well’. Riding on new wire wheels, this gorgeous B Roadster is offered for sale with fresh MOT certificate and receipts for all the parts used during its refurbishment.
