Wind Back Time
1976 MG B Roadster
Specifications
Description
There may have been faster and more modern cars on the market, but the rubber-bumper MGB offered the traditional thrills of a British roadster to a whole new generation.
MGBs of any era make great classic cars: They're fun to drive, sturdy, and relatively cheap to maintain thanks to an abundance of used and after market parts. The post-1974 models are a bit slower and, depending on your tastes, look a bit awkward due to their bumpers, but they're still rewarding to own and drive. They also offer a few advantages versus earlier cars, including higher-capacity cooling, better brakes, and fewer years of wear and tear.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- A Nice, Tidy Example with an appealing colour combination.
- Runs and drives well – doesn’t burn any fluids.
- Good oil pressure, compressions etc
- Good clean body with nice paint (repainted at some point)
- Usual rust prone areas, like sills, floorboard etc clean of rust
- No overdrive
- Good Tyres, battery etc
- Hood in good, nice order.
- This rubber bumper MGB comes into its own on a classic cruise.
- It can also be used as a daily driver, thanks to its size, ease of driving and mechanical simplicity and, if anything, the rubber bumper B is a better, more usable bet than the earlier versions. The added comfort comes from the raised ride height, which also makes entry and egress a fair bit easier – an important point for many more mature owners.
- Finally, these later MGBs are designed to run on unleaded from the factory without expensive mods or additives required.
These rubber bumper B’s are certainly not to be overlooked.
In many ways it’s a more rounded and developed car than earlier versions, and one that’s better suited for today’s roads, yet still enjoys all that’s good about the MGB. Prices are going up for these models too.
Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered, if sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
