1970 MG MGB

This 1970 MG MGB Roadster is a well-presented and highly usable example of one of Britain’s most iconic classic sports cars. Finished in classic British Racing Green with a black interior, this MGB offers timeless looks, excellent usability and desirable mechanical features that make it ideal for regular enjoyment.

The bodywork presents clean and straight, with bright chrome detailing and wire wheels completing the traditional MGB Roadster appearance. The paintwork retains a strong shine and the overall presentation reflects careful ownership, striking a balance between originality and everyday usability rather than over-restoration.

Inside, the black interior shows attractive, honest patina. The seats present well, the dashboard remains refreshingly original in appearance, and all familiar MG controls are exactly where they should be. It’s an authentic cabin that feels correct for the period while remaining comfortable and inviting.

Power comes from the dependable B-series engine, known for its durability and character. This example benefits from a modern alternator conversion, electronic ignition for easier starting and smoother running, and a fitted oil cooler, helping to maintain stable oil temperatures during extended or spirited driving.

Crucially, this MGB is fitted with a desirable overdrive gearbox, a highly sought-after feature on a classic MGB Roadster. Operated via the factory-style switch, overdrive allows relaxed motorway cruising, reduced engine revs at speed and a far more refined long-distance driving experience.

On the road, the MG MGB Roadster remains a joy to drive, with light steering, predictable handling and a reassuringly robust feel that suits both relaxed touring and more spirited driving. Roof down, it delivers the pure, uncomplicated driving experience that has made the MGB one of the best-loved classic British sports cars of all time.

This 1970 MG MGB Roadster in British Racing Green with overdrive represents an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to buy a usable, well-sorted classic that can be enjoyed immediately.
