The MG B: a popular English sports car as it should be: lightweight, agile and a pleasure to drive. What makes the example we offer special is that it is an original Dutch-built car. In addition, the MG is an early produced example with full chrome bumpers and the beloved classic dashboard. It was delivered to its first owner on 15 October 1965. The composition of the car is thoroughly British classic: British Racing Green with a black leather interior and wheels with chrome decorative caps. It is further equipped with nice extras such as a black hardtop, luggage rack, spare wheel, tonneau and tow bar. Extensive documentation of old photos and maintenance bills are present with the car. There are even photos from 1980 present! The car was restored then. The MG has subsequently been well maintained at specialist garages all this time. For example, a new starter ring and starter motor were recently fitted and a major service was carried out in 2021. A 2024 valuation report identified the car as being in very good condition with an assessed value of €20,500. The interior is still neat and breathes an English atmosphere with the classic dashboard, beautiful counters, nice steering wheel and authentic radio. The boot is also neat and offers space for the spare wheel. In short: a beautiful, original Dutch-delivered example of an iconic car with a lot of history and an honest story.


General information about the MG B
The MG B succeeded the MG A in 1963, a car that was already quite popular for MG - part of The British Motor Company (BMC) - with over 100,000 units. The MG B would be produced until 1980, and even more of these were eventually produced than of the A: over half a million units. Besides the roadster, other variants were also produced such as the MG B GT three-door 2+2 coupe (1965-1980), the six-cylinder MG C (1967-1969), and the eight-cylinder MG B GT V8. With its 1.8-litre engine and 95 hp, the MG B was a lot more powerful than the 1.6-litre MG A. In addition to performance and handling, the MG B had to score highly in terms of safety and affordability. This combination made the car a great success. The bodywork is self-supporting and the low centre of gravity and use of aluminium body parts ensures a low weight of 970 KG and a high degree of agility. The independent suspension system then adds to comfort. In short: a great success in the height of the British car industry. An ideal classic for touring, holiday driving or just to cherish.
