About this car

This is an early MGB Roadster from 1963, a Mk1 "pull-handle" car, named for its external door pulls. It is finished in Tartan Red with black leather seats piped in red, and runs on wire wheels.

The 1798cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox have been rebuilt, with about 1,000 miles since the work. The bodywork was restored about 5,000 miles ago. The page describes the paintwork as excellent and the engine bay as free of rust.

Recent work includes a new hood, new carpets and new wire wheels with matching Avon tyres. The chrome is described as excellent. The dealer says service history and MOTs go back 40 years.
