The MG A had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MG B which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B-Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MG A. The first incarnation of the MG B built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from September 1974.

First registered 25th August 1976, this MG B Roadster is finished in Pale Primrose complemented with a Black interior and hood. Previously restored by M.S Associates of Norfolk, at some stage the Roadster has seen a conversion from the USA Federal rubber bumpers to wear chrome bumpers as the pre September 1974 cars were, complementing the paint scheme well. Inside, a wood-effect dash kit has been fitted over the later Black plastic panels. The wheels are the 'sporty' Minilite-style. ‘PJN’ was the subject of a mechanical refresh in the last 2 years, when the brakes were renewed, along with the head gasket and rear axle thrush washers. Offered with a tonneau, a collection of invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.
