Lot details Registration No: AKD166X Chassis No: GVADJ1AG521483 Mot Expiry: May 2005
The MGB with monocoque-construction and larger 1798cc B series engine replaced the separate chassis 1622cc MGA in September 1962. A fixed head coupe B GT joined the open B sports from 1965.
Offered here is a claimed still to be original 1981-made and locally registered in Buxton MG LE roadster on model-correct alloy wheels, one of only approximately 420 such 'Limited Edition' MGBs built.
A fully reconditioned unleaded fuel friendly engine was fitted only 12,000 miles ago at 60,479 mileage in 1997. The mileage displayed when entered was 73,500 and this is believed by the entrant to be the genuine total for the car. On file is a full service record from new as well as all former MOTs, the current certificate being valid until next May.
Very well presented in the original factory-applied bronze with black leather interior and mohair hood, the righthand drive sports with its 1.8-litre 4-cylinder B motor and 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive performs superbly, says the vendor, who describes the current cosmetic and mechanical condition as being very good.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
