1970 MG MGB Roadster

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The MG MGB offers one of the most rewarding classic driving experiences available at any price point, and with over half a million produced during an 18-year production run between 1962 and 1980, the MGB Roadster remains the best-selling British sports car of all time.

For the 1970 model year, the MGB was “Leylandised” with a steel bonnet replacing the previous aluminum, leather upholstery was used in favor of vinyl, Leyland badging appeared on both front wings, and the MG chrome grille was replaced with a black recessed unit with separate moldings on the outer perimeter.

This MGB Roadster was acquired by the seller in spring 2008, and it has been refinished in red over black upholstery. Power comes from a 1.8-liter inline-four engine that is fed by twin SU carburetors with Coopers air cleaners.

An uninstalled convertible top frame, cover, and tonneau cover, as well as MG-branded seat covers, are included in the sale.

This 1970 MG MGB Roadster is now offered at no reserve with a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
