We are delighted to be able to offer this stunning example of an MGB Roadster, the current owner has spent a significant sum restoring the car to the fine condition that you see it in now. Having owned the car since 2012, he has spent money on all the right items including replacement sills, wings and high quality paintwork. The car further benefits from mechanical expenditure that included an 1860cc engine upgrade. As a result, this car really flies and offers spirited performance.

For sale on behalf of the owner.

All our cars are stored in a dedicated offsite sales facility that offers dry, well lit viewing. We respectfully request that viewing is by appointment only so that we can give you the time you deserve for a full assessment.

Bodywork

Interior

Within the history file there are numerous receipts for replacement items of trim, as a result the interior is in fine condition, the seats supportive, all of the switchgear works well.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
