About this car

This 1970 MGB Roadster left the factory in October 1970 and still wears its original Canterbury-issued registration. It has a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, which suits longer runs, and a stainless-steel exhaust. Minilite-style alloy wheels replace the standard steel ones.

The car is finished in Midnight Blue over black trim. The seats and carpets have been replaced recently, and a new black vinyl hood has been fitted. The dealer describes the paint as aged and no longer top-class, but well presented.

The page says the car has had a comprehensive restoration in the past. It describes the engine as healthy and the structure as sound. No mileage is stated.
