MGB Roadster: Full Restoration Heritage Re-shell/Ivor Searle Engine

​​

The original MGB Roadster is one of the most recognisable British sports cars ever manufactured. It brought affordable fun to the open road when launched in 1962 and today the later rubber bumper option is an ideal/cost effective choice for anyone looking for roof down classic car ownership.

Milestone Classics are delighted to market this fully restored/exceptional MGB Roadster that we sold two years ago. The car is a local MGB that Jamie has known for over 10 years and ticks all the Milestone boxes.

On the road the car drives exactly as you would expect from a fully restored/well sorted car.

The engine and gearbox have covered just 15,000 miles since being rebuilt and mechanically the car performs faultlessly.

Bodywork is outstanding with lovely paint, excellent panel alignment – the red really does work with the rubber bumpers – and good hood.
