A car we know well here at The Forge Prees, this 1972 MGB Roadster underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2015 and 2017 and has been lightly used since. It comes equipped with overdrive, electronic ignition, and has just been serviced, making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

​

This factory-original right-hand-drive (RHD) MGB was manufactured between December 30th and 31st, 1971, and dispatched to Morris Garages Limited in Oxford on January 5th, 1972. It was originally finished in Teal Blue with Autumn Leaf trim and a Black hood. Standard features included overdrive, Rostyle wheels, tonneau cover, and radial ply tyres.

The car still proudly displays its original factory-issued registration plate, FBH 693K, and is accompanied by a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate, confirming its provenance.

​

Having been off the road for many years, it was acquired in May 2015. Over the following two years, the car received a complete restoration, which is well documented in invoices and photographs. The restoration included fitting new panels, a bare metal respray in a beautiful shade of dark blue, and a complete rebuild of the engine, which included new bearings, piston rings, water pump, and clutch kit. Other mechanical aspects were also rebuilt as necessary, and it was fitted with a new hood, exhaust, chrome bumpers, and a refreshed interior.
 

In April 2017, the car was further improved and well-maintained, as evidenced by invoices on file. In May 2018, it was sent to Midland Classic Restorations for a comprehensive check-over and service, which included replacing various pipes and hoses, fitting electronic ignition, and a thorough tune-up.
 

As a Historic Vehicle on the V5C, it is tax-exempt and MOT-exempt. Although the V5C incorrectly lists the car as a GT, the chassis prefix (GHN) confirms it as a Roadster, as verified by the MG Owners Club. It is now listed on the MGB Register with the corresponding badge on the dashboard.
 

In recent months, several enhancements have been made to the car by it's last ower, including:
 

New headrests

New ashtray and armrest cover

Repaired center console

Inertia reel-type seat belts

Chrome sill plates

Refurbished glove box and gauges

New overdrive escutcheon

Fascia modifications

Refurbished gear lever

New polished steering wheel boss and wood-rimmed 15” Astralli steering wheel

New rear suspension with parabolic springs and Gaz telescopic dampers

New windscreen, radiator, and ignition key

New Forlife coolant and various other upgrades
 

The car has been kept in a garage and used only in fine weather. It starts easily, drives smoothly, and maintains good oil pressure and temperature, with healthy 55psi oil pressure when driven.

This MGB Roadster will be freshly serviced, MOT’d, and professionally detailed ahead of sale.
