SUMMARY
Well presented Mk II from 26-years ownership, recently refreshed with some sympathetic upgrades.
DESCRIPTION
- Classically presented in Tartan Red with a black leather interior and silver Minator 8-spoke alloys
- With its current custodian for the last 26 years and just five previous owners
- Over the last two years, the 'B' has been treated to a quality respray, new aluminium bonnet and mohair hood
- Tastefully upgraded with front plastic inner arches, trickle charge adapter and the batteries encased in protective boxes
- Mechanical improvements include an ally radiator upgrade with Revotec fan, fresh timing chain, a new water pump and K&N air filters
- With overdrive working well on third and fourth gear, we understand the car drives as well as it looks
- The evergreen MG B is, quite simply, the most popular sports car ever made in Britain and still has tremendous appeal today as a practical and thoroughly enjoyable two-seater
