In May of 1962 the production of the MGA ceased, and just after the last MGA was produced, behind it on the assembly line was its successor, the MGB. Sporting a completely new monocoque design with more power and better options, the MGB was a worthy descendant of the MGA and became one of the most iconic MG models and British sports cars of all time. The MGB was a sports car most could afford and offered a lot of fun in a little package. There were various editions, models and concepts produced.

This exceptional dark red example being offered is presented fresh from a “professional ground-up restoration” that saw all aspects of the car being rebuilt, including the complete drivetrain. Show-quality paint and body work covers a detailed undercarriage. It is reported that the MGB has been driven just 500 test miles since the restoration was completed. The interior is black leather with red piping on the seats, black carpets and black canvas soft-top. There is also a nice piping detail on the door panels. The sports car is powered by an inline four-cylinder engine with twin carbs and a manual transmission. The engine bay is beautifully detailed, as are the chrome wire wheels with knock-off hubs, brightwork, Smiths instrumentation, matching spare and seatbelts.
