Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the hatchback GT derivative not being offered until 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, with an eye on superior reliability, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing one two years into production. By the time the Roadster line was closed in 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced; a large proportion of which are still providing good service today The UK supplied MGB Roadster on offer is believed to have received an extensive restoration in c.2000 by a previous long term keeper.
