SUMMARY
An early pull-handle B that appears to be an older restoration, now emerging from long-term storage and offered without reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Known by it’s internal codename of MG EX205, the MG B began production in 1962 and in one form or another was around until 1995
- Powered by the 1,798cc B-series four-cylinder producing 95bhp and 110lb/ft of torque when new resulting in a respectable 108mph
- This example is classically presented in British Racing Green with a black, piped in white, leather interior and silver wire wheels
- From 27 years long-term ownership, however, the sale is being dealt with by the owner's family who have confirmed that the MG hasn't been used for 15 years
- The odometer displays just 8,100 although we would imagine this was as a result of a speedo change or restoration perhaps
- The general condition of the car suggests it's an older restoration with only a few thousand miles since. There is no relevant paperwork
- An element of recommissioning is to be expected although this desirable pull-handle MG B is an excellent foundation for those wanting to return a classic back to the road
