Seller's comments about 1974' MG MGB

1974 MGB Roadster – Riviera Blue, Heritage Certified, Extensive HistoryThe MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later British Leyland, from 1962 until 1980. Universally admired for its elegant proportions, engaging handling, and accessible performance, it has become one of the most beloved icons of British motoring.This particular example, first registered in February 1974, presents superbly following a full coachwork restoration in 2021. Finished in striking Riviera Blue with a contrasting black vinyl interior, black soft top, and matching tonneau cover, the car also features desirable mini-lite wheels and benefits from overdrive in 3rd and 4th gear, making it ideal for both spirited drives and relaxed touring. The restoration included a new windscreen, refreshed chrome work, and detailed engine bay, all of which remain in excellent condition.Accompanying the car is a comprehensive history file, with:British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate confirming factory specification.Original Driver’s Handbook.Extensive invoice history and MOT certificates tracing ownership and mileage.Old V5 registration documents and previous owner details.Printed instructions for hood fitting, a charming period touch.Mechanically, this MGB is highly maintained. A new clutch was fitted in 2016, alongside brakes, radiator, alternator, and an unleaded cylinder head conversion—ensuring continued usability on modern fuel. It has been driven extensively across Europe, testament to both its reliability and drivability. Most recently, the car has been serviced and wax-oiled, preparing it for immediate enjoyment.This is a superbly documented, well-loved MGB Roadster offered with an enviable level of provenance and history. Combining its heritage certification, extensive records, and fresh restoration in a rare Riviera Blue, it represents a fine opportunity to acquire one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars.
