The MG B Roadster Supercharger is one of the best-known British sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Its classic roadster styling, compact dimensions and straightforward engineering made it one of the most popular open sports cars of its generation.

This example was first registered on 15 September 1972 and is finished in purple. The 1,798 cc four-cylinder engine is paired with a manual transmission and overdrive. The indicated mileage is 12,472 miles.

The car underwent a good professional restoration. The bodywork was repainted and shows normal signs of use. The interior has largely been preserved in its original condition and the underside remains in good, honest condition.
