1972 MG B Roadster Manual Overdrive in Blaze Orange

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Finished in Blaze Orange and with only 4 former keepers showing on the V5C, 'NPA 269L' was supplied new by University Motors Ltd of Surrey. The Roadster was the subject of a lot of expense in 2007 and 2013. In 1992, the car was given a mechanical overhaul by Pegasus Classics. There has also been a previous engine overhaul of the 1950cc engine with its stage 3 head. Over the years the MGB has benefitted from a number of improvements, including a Kenlowe fan, 4 new tyres and a new battery last year. 'Fast road' specification Bilstein front shock absorbers have also been fitted at some stage. Accompanying the MG is a collection of photographs of the engine, a large collection of invoices dating back to 1973, the original passport to service, handbook, workshop manual, an original sales invoice and a collection of old MOTs. 'NPA 269L' also benefits from having a Heritage Certificate on file. The car drives very well with everything working as it should, good oil pressure and a smooth operating overdrive. With the largest owners club in the world and a parts availability to match MG's are a great entry into the classic car world. This car is an ideal starter classic . An older restoration which is standing the test of time this MGB is ready to be enjoyed in the upcoming summer months.
