The specification includes power steering, chrome wire wheels, high quality red hood and tonneau cover as well as tasteful upgrades to the interior. The car goes as well as it looks with an engine upgraded to 1950cc fed by a 45 DCOE Weber carb and all the right bits internally.

The condition is absolutely superb, without a blemish and extremely high quality paint all pointing to a no expense spared approach to the restoration, the underside is as clean as it is on top, the engine bay spotless and the boot fully carpeted.

Needing nothing and ready to be enjoyed!

Bodywork

Totally rebuilt 5 years ago and subject to an extremely high quality repaint in Rosso Red.

Absolutely rock solid with good panel fit and no issues.

Mechanical

Performed very well on test with smooth overdrive operation and lively performance from the uprated engine. The B series was completely rebuilt by Oselli less than 3000 miles ago. It has been bored to 1950cc, in Stage 2 lightened & balanced spec. including a gas flowed head, PowerMax pistons, fast road camshaft, uprated clutch, electronic ignition, tuftrided crankshaft, 45 DCOE twin choke carburettor, sports stainless exhaust with Oselli sports manifold fitted in 2022. The car remains tractable and pulls well from low revs, the handling positive and both clutch and brakes light and easy to use.
This car also benefits from an electric power steering conversion, which transforms the drive and is proving to be a very popular and worthwhile upgrade to many of our customers cars. 

Exterior

A delight, fantastic colour and set off so well by the chrome wires, all of the trim is excellent. The red hood and tonneau are a nice touch and are of a very high quality both being in mohair.

Interior

Tastefully upgraded, the cockpit is very comfortable and has been fitted with upgraded leather trim, walnut effect dashboard trim, 12v cut off switch, power supply and a modern but discreet radio. 

 

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.
