• 1,798 cc engine with manual transmission
• Good professional restoration
• Indicated mileage of 53,899 km
• Belgian registration documents and Belgian Car-Pass present

The MG B is one of the best-known British sports cars of its era. With its compact dimensions, classic roadster styling and direct driving experience, the model became an icon of British sports car history.

This example was first registered on 15 September 1974 and is finished in Bordeaux. The car has an indicated mileage of 53,899 km and underwent a good professional restoration in the past.

The body has been repainted, presents well and shows normal signs of use. The underside has been repaired and is in good, honest condition. The tyres are only a few months old and are in good condition.

The interior has been restored and presents well. The carpets are in very good condition and the soft top has been renewed. The driver's seat has a tear.

Technically, this MG B presents well. The original engine is in good condition, has recently been worked on and runs well. A carburettor adjustment is still recommended. The clutch and manual transmission operate perfectly, while the brakes are also well adjusted and work perfectly.

This MG B is now more than 30 years old and can qualify for classic car status in Belgium. In Flanders, vehicles aged at least 30 years benefit from specific flat-rate classic car taxation. With a Belgian O-plate and the required registration, the car can also access the Flemish LEZ zones according to the applicable conditions.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this car.
