1974 MGB RoadsterThanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1974 MGB Mark III Roadster. If you’re looking for a sporting car that has been sorted and is ready to drive and enjoy this may be your car. This looks and feels like a new car. Gorgeous inside and out, pride of ownership is noted everywhere.
This MGB is the final chrome bumper model before the nasty black bumper and detuned smog control era. Updated and kept in top condition; both prior owners kept a binder of receipts and compiled lists of upgrades and maintenance. This is NOT your typical worn and rusty MGB. This car has been loved and is a wonderful driver’s turn key car. The next step up would be a concours vehicle.
