This particular example is a desirable Mark I (Mk1) from 1966. For enthusiasts, this means the MG still features the characteristic steel dashboard. Later models, especially those for the American market, received a more modern dashboard, but this European example retains that pure, authentic look of metal and classic gauges. It is a car from a time when chrome was still standard and bumpers were slim and elegant, long before the heavier, raised rubber “impact” bumpers significantly altered the design.
What truly completes this MG B is the presence of overdrive on the gearbox. At the time, this was a luxury option, and today it is highly valued by those who wish to use the car beyond city limits. It lowers engine revs at higher speeds, providing a more relaxed and comfortable driving experience. The color is equally tasteful: Midnight Blue. This deep shade gives the car a refined presence that pairs beautifully with the black leather interior. The wheels are the well-known “Mag” style alloys—a modern, lightweight interpretation of the classic Minilite wheel—giving the car a slightly more sporting stance.
This Roadster has been the subject of a careful and passionate restoration in recent years. It was a typical “evening-hours” project by a true enthusiast, who approached the car with patience and an eye for detail. The result is not a clinical trailer queen that you hesitate to drive, but a very well-presented, honest, and beautiful classic that is technically up to standard.
The paint has a lovely shine, the chrome work is in excellent condition, and the leather seats look equally well preserved. The driving experience is exactly what you would expect from a lovingly restored MG B: tight, engaging, and without compromise.
