The subject of an older restoration circa twelve years ago, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. An original `chrome bumper' Roadster, `GWB 592N' is said to be `a good usable car that drives very well with very smooth overdrive'. Showing a highly credible 61,900 miles to its odometer and expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale, this appealing MG B also comes with a wood-rim steering wheel, hood cover and various invoices.
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 (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. Arriving for the 1970 model year, the MK3 version sported a recessed `black hole' grille, vinyl upholstery and Rostyle wheels.
