1981 MG B

1981 MGB Roadster – Russet Brown – Factory Overdrive

This charming 1981 MGB Roadster is finished in the particularly attractive Russet Brown and retains a wonderfully honest, largely unrestored character. A classic in the truest sense, it presents an appealing opportunity for those looking for an MGB that can be enjoyed on the road rather than simply admired in a collection.

Fitted from the factory with overdrive, the car offers a more relaxed and enjoyable driving experience, particularly when covering longer distances. It is a very responsive car to drive, with the familiar light and engaging character that makes the MGB such an enduring favourite, while also feeling reassuringly well planted on the road.

Mechanically, the car has recently benefited from some worthwhile work. The cylinder head has been rebuilt and converted for unleaded fuel, while a tubular extractor exhaust manifold has also been fitted. These improvements complement the car's naturally lively character and contribute to a particularly enjoyable driving experience.

The car comes with a good amount of history, including recent MOT certificates and service sheets, providing useful documentation of its ownership and maintenance over the years.

Importantly, as with all cars sold by Classicwise, the MGB will receive a full health check and service prior to sale, together with a new MOT, ensuring that it is ready for its next custodian to enjoy.

An honest and characterful MGB Roadster with factory overdrive, useful mechanical upgrades and a good history file, this is a lovely example of a classic British sports car that remains every bit as enjoyable to drive today as it was when new.
