1972 MG B Roadster

The MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later British Leyland, as a four-cylinder, soft-top roadster from 1962 until 1980. Its details were first published on 19 September 1962. Variants include the MGB GT three-door 2+2 coupé (1965–80), the six-cylinder roadster and coupé MGC (1967–69), and the eight-cylinder 2+2 coupé, the MGB GT V8 (1973–76). Replacing the MGA in 1962, production of the MGB and its variants continued until 1980, achieving sales for the MGB, MGC and MGB GT V8 combined a total of 523,836 cars. The MGB bodyshell was reprised in modified form with a limited run of 2,000 MG RV8 roadsters (1993–95). The sales brochure from 1972 describes the MG B as follows: “from any angle, is a classically conceived sports car. And the reason is simple. It is, in essence, the very definition of what a sports car should be. A road machine that puts performance and handling above all else.”

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present extremely well documented and beautiful 1972 MG B. In the always popular British Racing Green that is recognizable for MG's and remains in great shape, with all of the exterior chrome including the bumpers, and accent pieces, as well as the black vinyl top and removable hardtop. The interior was restored to keep originality intact with just an AM/FM and cassette radio added for convenience. The seats in a like new black vinyl and the dash with fully functioning gauges and instrument panel including speedometer with trip odometer, electric tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel gauge. There is also a map reading light, manual choke and MG all the instruments and switches set in a no glare, padded dash. The engine is according to the owner numbers matching 1800cc inline 4, overhead valve with a 4-speed all synchromesh with electronically controlled overdrive for third and fourth gears. This is one of the finer examples, with documentation and the according to the owner actual miles, going back to the original title application and service records, of an MG B that has held together so well since the restoration and would be a treat to drive for miles and miles to come.
