The Appeal
If your plan to use your classic, the trick when buying one is to find a car where someone else has done the work for you. That’s exactly what we have here. over £3,000 of work that covered cosmetics and mechanicals. There is even a useful voluntary MOT to add transparency.
A BMIHT certificate verifies that this car retains its factory Leyland White paint colour. The paint is neatly accented with a pair of rare MG side stripes and a set of classic Rostyles. It is also fitted with the desirable overdrive unit that makes long drives more relaxing.
Since 2024, the car has received a long list of improvements, ranging from clutch, brake overhaul, electronic ignition and new plus which leads to a replacement hood in smart red. There are also four new matching Vredestein tyres, which were fitted in July last year . Also this year the car has been serviced,comes with but not fitted yet Bluetooth radio . The differential seal and oil have been replaced and the screen washer pump renewed.
There are a few points to note in the photos. But with the reassurance of that MOT, which contains no structural advisories, this looks like a very usable example of MG’s venerable B.
“It's a presentable, smart example but has some small areas of corrosion, notably on the bootlid and driver's side front wing. Rear arches have previously been repaired. Factory overdrive (working) and Rostyle wheels
