1970 MG

B Roadster



What We Like

The MG B Roadster embodies all that is British motoring thanks to an athletic chassis, simple interior, and lively inline-four-cylinder engine. This example was reportedly purchased from the original owner and promptly driven 120 miles back to the selling dealer’s facility, highlighting how robust these little cars can be with proper maintenance. The car is believed to have been repainted in its factory Bronze Yellow hue sometime in the late 1980s. Modifications appear to be limited to the trunk-mounted luggage rack. This MG B is ready to offer guilt-free driving as-is or could be completely refurbished… the choice is yours when you win this NO RESERVE auction.

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

The selling dealer reportedly acquired this MG B in May 2022 from its original, Pennsylvania-based owner and then proceeded to drive the car approximately 120 miles back to their facility in Maryland. This Roadster now shows 66,700 miles, although true mileage is unknown. The vehicle is believed to have been resprayed in the factory Bronze Yellow color in the late 1980s, although no supporting documents are included.

The MG B was launched in 1962 and utilized a modern unibody chassis design. This chassis incorporated one of the first uses of crumple-zones designed to offer greater passenger crash protection. Power was provided by a carbureted 1.8L inline-four-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Braking was supplied via front disc brakes with dual-piston calipers and rear drums. Series production ended in 1980.
