Lot 205 1972 MGB Roadster

• Significant history file
• Overdrive gearbox
• Unleaded cylinder head

The 1972 MG MGB Roadster is a classic British sportscar celebrated for its timeless styling, engaging driving experience, and simple mechanical design. Powered by a 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine, it delivers modest performance while offering plenty of character and an unmistakable exhaust note. The four-speed manual gearbox, with optional overdrive on many models, provides an enjoyable connection between driver and machine. Its lightweight construction, rear-wheel-drive layout, and responsive steering make it rewarding on winding country roads. The folding soft top allows owners to enjoy open-air motoring whenever the weather permits, while the compact cabin reflects the minimalist approach of its era. Chrome bumpers, wire wheels on some examples, and elegant body lines contribute to the MGB's enduring appeal. Today, the 1972 MGB Roadster remains a popular choice among classic car enthusiasts thanks to its affordability, strong parts availability, and active owners' community.

Originally registered on 23^rd August 1972, this MGB is finished in Midnight Blue with a Biscuit interior. Currently owned by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic vendor, this MG benefits from an overdrive gearbox, unleaded cylinder head, oil cooler and an electric fan. Accompanying this MG is a significant history folder, dating back to 1988. The engine runs well and we are advised this Roadster drives with no known faults. This is a sound, solid example, borne out by the fact it passed its MoT test certificate on 15^th June 2026 with no advisories. Supplied with a V5 registration document, this MGB is an ideal introduction into classic car motoring. Consigned by Stewart Banks
