1974 MG MGB Roadster

Description

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. The 1974 model year marks the last for chrome bumpers, which featured rubber overriders to comply with the federally mandated changes.

This MGB Roadster was produced in March 1974 and has been retrofitted with earlier-style chrome overriders along with a set of 14” GKN Kent alloy wheels with MG-branded center caps.

The car is finished in red with a black top over black upholstery, and its 1.8-liter inline-four has been fitted with a Pierce intake manifold and a Weber carburetor.

It was acquired in November 2025 by the seller, who notes that service within the last three months included performing an oil change, converting the ignition to electronic, installing an aluminum radiator and electric fuel pump, and replacing the fuel tank, fuel pump, ignition switch, starter, heater control valve, and tires.

This 1974 MG MGB Roadster is now offered with a repair manual, a tonneau cover, spare sunvisors, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.
