Outstandingly successful despite, or perhaps because of, its relative simplicity, the perennially popular MGB remained in production for 18 years. While rivals came and went, the 'B' changed little, undergoing a minor facelift for 1970 when it received a new radiator grille, Rostyle wheels and reclining seats, and gaining a distinctive 'honeycomb' front grille in 1973. A more radical, by MGB standards, change occurred two years later when the car acquired plastic bumpers to comply with US legislation. When production ceased in October 1980, MGB sales had exceeded 500,000, making it one of the most successful sportscars of all time. Finished in Blaze Red with grey velour-trimmed interior, this righthand-drive 'chrome-bumper' roadster has the desirable manual/overdrive transmission. We are advised that the vehicle has been refurbished to a high standard, the work including a bare-metal re-spray, engine rebuild, all new chrome, stainless-steel exhaust and fuel tank, new carpet, hood and tonneau cover and many other 'extras'. Offered with detailed bills, all expired MoT certificates, road fund licence/MoT to June 2003 and Swansea V5.
