An MG B is, in essence, everything a classic British sports car should be. When it succeeded the MG A, it represented a significant step forward in the automotive world. The model featured a monocoque body, which provided greater rigidity and more modern handling. Although it looked more compact than the MG A, it offered a surprising amount of interior space for both passengers and their luggage. It is no wonder, then, that the MG B became one of the best-selling sports cars ever. This specific example is a sought-after Mark I (Mk1) from 1966. For connoisseurs, this means the MG is still equipped with the characteristic steel dashboard. Later, particularly the American models received a more modern dashboard, but this European example still has that pure, authentic look of metal and classic gauges. It is a car from the era when chrome was still the standard, and the bumpers were sleek and elegant, long before the heavier, raised rubber impact bumpers radically changed the design. What really completes this MG B is the overdrive on the transmission. At the time, this was a luxury option that is highly sought after today by those who want to use the car outside city limits. It lowers the engine speed at higher speeds, resulting in a smoother ride and greater driving comfort. The color is equally tasteful: Midnight Blue. This deep blue gives the car a striking appearance that perfectly complements the black leather interior. The wheels are the famous “Mag” style alloys, a modern and lightweight interpretation of the classic Minilite rim, which gives the car a slightly sportier stance. This Roadster has been the subject of a loving restoration over the past few years. It was a typical evening-hours project undertaken by a true enthusiast who tackled the car with great patience and an eye for detail. The result is not a clinical trailer queen you wouldn’t dare drive, but a very neat, honest, and beautiful classic that is technically up to date. The paintwork shines beautifully, the chrome is stunning, and the leather on the seats looks great as well. The driving experience is exactly what you’d expect from an MG B that has been lovingly restored: tight and uncompromising. Are you ready to put the top down and enjoy a beautiful summer day? This MG B is waiting for you. Contact Gallery Aaldering today and discover this MG for yourself.
