Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
Few other cars combine classic sporting character with everyday usability.
Created as a pure two-seater roadster in 1962, the MGB was the first MG to embrace the monocoque construction revolution. Bringing the company up to date, along with the new B-Series 1.8-litre twin-carb engines, it was unique in BMC's line-up for having no other badge-engineered equivalent, and soon became the most recognisable MG of all time. Utilising a highly skilled workforce, the Abingdon management used them effectively along a mass production line, which enabled a successful export drive, with most ending up in the States. Throughout its production run, the car attracted strong sales, and even towards the end of its life, it maintained its status as one of the world's best-loved sports cars, continuing to charm new owners to this day.
Its popularity is based on its affordability and practicality, and its ubiquitous nature and commonality often overshadow how cohesive and attractive the styling is. Combined with excellent parts availability, relatively modest maintenance and repair costs, the MGB is not surprisingly the first option for those seeking a fun-to-drive classic sports car.
The MGB underwent subtle changes and upgrades over its 18-year life span, and this late MK 1 version retains many of the original features, including the MGA sourced four-speed gearbox with overdrive transmission, 14" wheels, pull-handle doors and its simple, elegant, uncluttered dashboard layout.
This well-kept 1967 MG MGB Roadster comes from ~12 and a half years with our vendor and has been retained by several long-term owners, finished in 'Old English White' with black leather seats. It has a history file that goes back to the early 1980s. It has also been consistently garaged since 2013, comes with an MOT to May 2026 and in 2018, it featured in an issue of Practical Classic Magazine. It needs minor cosmetic attention and a little engine tune-up to make perfect, but comes off the back of a service just ~350 miles ago.

Hi David
What do you mean/suggest by “a little engine tune”?
What minor cosmetic attention does the car need please?
Would the car drive me home from Warwick to Poole?
Thanks
Gerald
It was a comment made by Trade Classics when they reviewed the car. All it means is that it hasn’t been driven this year. In fact it has only done 21 miles. between this year’s and last year’s MOT. and only 6 miles since March. It needs a good run out. I’ve driven it to Goodwood etc in the past with no problem.
Has it got a radio and tool kit thanks.
There is a old radio which you can see in the interior photos but its not connected and never been tested. There is a jack etc for changing the tyre
What’s the hood like and is there a full and a half cover.with the car thanks.
The hood is in good condition for its age. Its never leaked when being used. There is also a tonneau cover
Is the gearbox a 3 synchro, any gear crunching changing down top to third, third to second
Changing down from 4th to 3rd is very smooth. For 3rd to 2nd you need to get the speed down and then it changes well. if you are going too fast it wont like it
Have you ever tried to get the passenger door aligned to fit flush with the body
No I never thought it was a priority. Cheers
