Discerning MGB buyers who want a reliable, affordable and well-sorted car for club and weekend outings would be hard pressed to find one better than this example. This desirable example of the Australian-assembled MGB roadster is on the market due to declining use. The owner has fastidiously cared for the car and has service and repair documents since its purchase in 2003. It comes with a tonneau cover in very good condition, and a rare aftermarket ‘fastback’ hardtop (with storage carrier) that has been restored with new glass and rubbers, and enhanced to suit the MGB with the addition of a headliner and extra tie-down rods to ensure the roof remains secure and rattle-free. The fastback top has its own boot lid that replaces the existing lid. The owner said the hardtop makes for a quiet, weatherproof and comfortable cruiser with the benefit of keeping the cabin secure. The car also comes with sheepskin seat covers, a a car cover, chrome luggage rack to fit to the boot and to prevent theft has an engine immobiliser. The owner has used the car on multiple outings, including regional holidays, and has ensured it has been religiously serviced and any maintenance issue has been promptly rectified. He reports no issues with the drivetrain which has recently received a gearbox service including new mounts. The car starts immediately, idles quietly and drives smoothly and drives confidently. The car was built in April 1971 in Australia (a model known as the MGBL) and has a 1.8-litre ‘B’ engine with four-speed (plus overdrive) manual gearbox. It has a full WA road license. It can be inspected in Perth. Additional information and photographs are available. Transport to any buyer location and inspection reports can be arranged at buyer’s cost.
