About this car
This is a 1965 narrow-tunnel MGB Roadster, built as a competition car by Mark Hope. It carries FIA Period F (1962-1965) papers valid until 31 December 2032, along with a UK V5, so it is set up for historic racing rather than road use.
The engine has been fully rebuilt and has covered roughly 1.5 hours since, including a 30-minute qualifying session and a one-hour race. The gearbox has been refurbished and has no running hours since the work. Oselli Motorsport has prepared and run the car over the past year.
Richard Hammond raced it in the inaugural Generations Trophy at Silverstone in October 2025, and it has continued in the 2026 Motor Racing Legends season. It is eligible for MRL, Equipe, CSCC, GTSCC, Spa Six Hours and Peter Auto events.
