MG MGB

With us at RFH Classics, we are delighted to once again offer this beautifully presented 1973 (L) MGB Roadster 1.8, finished in striking Gloss Black and complemented by contrasting Tan Weave interior trim. This is a car we know particularly well, having first supplied it nearly five years ago before later welcoming it back and selling it again a couple of years ago. Now returning to us, it is particularly pleasing to see that the car continues to present so well.

Gloss Black is a relatively unusual colour to find on an MGB Roadster and works exceptionally well with the clean lines of the early chrome bumper body. Combined with the Tan interior, Chrome Wire Wheels and excellent brightwork, it gives the car a particularly elegant appearance with considerably more individuality than many of the more familiar colour combinations. The coachwork retains a deep, impressive shine and reflects the care the car has continued to receive.

Accompanying the car we have now created the substantial history which accompanies the car into one of our RFH Classics history folders presenting the history in chronological order. The folder includes early MOT certificates together with a large number of invoices and receipts documenting maintenance, repairs and improvement work carried out throughout the car’s life. Of particular note is a significant programme of refurbishment undertaken during 2017, with paperwork recording replacement Tan interior trim, a new hood, replacement dashboard and repainting of the car. More recently it has benefited from an upgraded steering wheel, new steering rack, new water pump and Overdrive service. This documentary record provides useful evidence of the investment made over the years and helps explain its impressive condition today.

Inside, the Tan Weave trim is perfectly complemented by contrasting Black carpets and the traditional MGB dashboard layout featuring the wood trim, helps create a smart and period-appropriate cabin. Importantly, the interior has matured well since the documented refurbishment and remains a particularly attractive place to sit.

Under the bonnet sits the proven 1798cc four-cylinder petrol engine running lead free fuel. From cold it starts readily with a little choke and, once warm, displays excellent oil pressure. The engine is paired with the four-speed manual gearbox and desirable Overdrive, giving the car the more relaxed higher-speed cruising ability that makes such a difference to an MGB Roadster in modern traffic. Since arriving back with us we have given the car a good run to confirm everything is working properly.

Anyone looking for a chrome bumper MGB Roadster that offers something a little different, this is a particularly compelling example. The unusual Gloss Black and Tan colour combination, desirable Overdrive, Chrome Wire Wheels and substantial history folder combine to create a car with both strong visual appeal and excellent supporting provenance. Viewing is available by appointment at our Bedfordshire showroom, with nationwide delivery available by arrangement.
