Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the hatchback GT derivative not being offered until 1965. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front and a live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear. Damping was by lever arm units all round. Braking was by discs at the front and drums at the rear. 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.
An older restoration which still presents very well, this early 'pull handle' example with three-bearing crank has been in the current ownership since 1989. Bought as an unfinished restoration project by the vendor the body was then painted in two pac and the engine and gearbox were overhauled. After being in long term dry storage the MG has recently been recommissioned at the cost of £907.45. This has included attention being paid to the brakes, clutch, carburettors and new batteries being fitted. Showing as having seven previous keepers and displaying 62,500 miles, '802 JWA' is offered with a MOT certificate into September 2016.
