1967 MGB Roadster - a benchmark example! SOLD

The best MGB we've seen or driven for a long time; we're delighted to present this immaculate Roadster.

OLE591E was registered on the 4th of January 1967 and dispatched to the renowned MG dealer University Motors. A rarely seen ‘E’ plate car, current only for the first part of 1967 before the annual registration changeover moved from January to August that same year.

Finished in the definitive colour combination of Tartan red with black leather trim and specified with overdrive, chrome wire wheels, heater, pack-away hood, full tonneau and anti-roll bar, this is a beautifully presented 'B' that drives as well as it looks, with the crisp feel of a new car. If you've ever imagined what it felt like to collect a brand new MGB over 50 years ago, then this is it; it's absolutely delightful.

In local ownership for the last 10 years, of which we’ve maintained her for the last 5 and benefiting from a Heritage bodyshell, this is a car that you can use and enjoy without further outlay.

Cosmetically, it's one of the best we’ve seen, with better than factory panel fit, lovely paint and brightwork, complimented by an excellent, original specifcation interior. A much loved and well maintained car, always receiving the best of everything on a 'money no object' basis, evidenced by the huge A4 binder that accompanies the car. It's enjoyed an interesting history too; previous owners have included the Keeper of the Queen’s Buildings and a more recent custodian was a resident expert on BBC TV’s Antiques Roadshow!

This MGB comes from the golden period of production before performance and character were watered down by the BL accountants. As a 1967 registered car, it's eligible to attend all the best events on the classic motoring calendar.

If you’re looking for a beautifully presented car that’s highly original in appearance, has been comprehensively restored then well-loved and maintained by long term owners, then we'd highly recommend this example for viewing at our rural workshop just outside of Melton Mowbray.

Having maintained these cars since they were brand new, we really do know our MGB’s and this is genuinely one of the very best we’ve encountered, finished in the definitive colour combination and specification. 

Go and view the other B's for sale and then buy this one - it's the perfect summer classic and represents truly excellent value for money - you couldn't restore one for anywhere near the asking price.
