Specifications
Description
The MGB is a sports car launched by MG Cars in May 1962 replacing the MGA.
It was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional body on frame construction used on both the MGA and MG T Types.
The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction, with a 0–60 mph (96 km/h) time of just over 11 seconds, aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points. The 3-bearing 1798 cc B Series engine produced 95 hp (71 kW) at 5,400 rpm. The engine was upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft in an effort to improve reliability. It was also one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30 mph (48 km/h) impact with an immovable 200 ton barrier.
Straight Body, Very Good paint – Drivers EXCEPTIONALLY WELL and looks STUNNING in Blue.
Manual with Overdrive, this car has been very well maintained and various maintenance history is available. Recent work include engine reconditioning at 159178 miles.
PRICE FIRM. Car will be sold with a fresh 6 month WOF and 12 month Registration if sold in New Zealand.
