The car is a 1972 car but was registered in 1973. It is well loved, great to drive, and, most of all, fun - recalling the memories of the 60s and 70s when the car knew it was being driven.
Due to health and hip problems I'm unable to use the car, which has saddened me as I bought in January this year and didn't foresee this health situation.
This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

The car is presented in a lovely colour, which goes well with the chrome wire wheels.
Overall, the car looks good and is much admired.
Chrome wire wheels, including the spare - and tyres that have many miles left.
Good condition throughout, with no dings or dents. The underside is waxoiled as I am told by Summit Motors, who have maintained the car for very many years.
I could not see any blemishes on the paintwork except maybe a slight indent immediately below the boot catch under the handle. I've tried to capture this in the photographs.
The paint is in good condition and I think it must have been resprayed not so long ago. It is even and not at all faded.
Glass is free of chips and cracks, and the surround is solid.
The interior is a good colour for the car, is very comfortable, and is a good usable car. There's patina though as it is an older restoration.
Seats work well, slide to adjust and tilt as they should with good patina.
Carpets are part of the older restoration and they are serviceable and tidy but do show some wear.
Dashboard as it should be for a good B, clean and tidy.
Steering wheel is new and a new MG gear lever top was supplied about 20 years ago.
This car starts on the button and as long as I have been driving it, has been very reliable.
The engine was rebuilt in 1997 and has only covered a few miles since that.
It feels good and drives well.
The front brake discs and pads were stripped down and deglazed in 2012, as well as the rear drums.
The suspension feels good and the car handles well.
There's no whine or undue noise or vibration.
The Electrics look good and all work.
It had a major refit in 1997, and has been well kept since - having covered very few miles. There is a comprehensive history file.
The last Mot was 22nd January this year,and there are 25 additional MOTs. There is also an MG B handbook.
The history file is comprehensive and the owner before me was meticulous with his records.

From Trade Classics:
This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.
Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.
Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.
Your request has been submitted successfully and we'll keep you updated.
