Ever since I've had this continued MG 'itch' , so have kept an eye out for something interesting!! Having searched in vain for a year or so, unbeknown to me, this MGB was just literally yards away from home.

I am all for originality but when someone has not only beautifully maintained but thoughtfully upgraded a car too, I am certainly interested.

So we have here a lovely genuine 1974 late chrome bumper Roadster with a Oselli 2.0 engine (invoice on file of £3660) together with a host of other upgrades. The engine is their Stage 2 unit which is lighted and balanced, plus lead free....the increase in power and particularly torque is substantial, up to 40% increase over the standard engine, say Oselli . A pair of HIF carburettors and K&N air filter optimise the breathing, whilst a performance distributor and a Magatronic unit is also fitted. A high torque starter motor turns it over with ease, there's full stainless steel exhaust and period Minilites.

All the work was undertaken in 2009/10 along with a respray in its original Damask Red - a new black hood was fitted, along with a walnut dash, door cards and tonneau. A pair of later style leather seats were added, which for my larger frame, add a degree of extra comfort.

There is a large history file with invoices detailing the restoration and ongoing maintenance todate. Its averaged a 1000 miles a year since its makeover and I've driven 1500 of them. The engine is a delight and cruises very comfortably at 70 in over drive top but its most enjoyable on A & B roads, where you can use the extra power and torque to really nip along.

It would be a pleasure to answer any further questions you might have. This MGB Roadster can be inspected at my Guildford showroom - please call 07788 865700.
