SUMMARY
Magnificent, UK-supplied, right-hand drive MGB Roadster with less than 8,500 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
- Purchased new from Studholme Dickson on 08/06/1979 for £3,763.65
- Presented in gleaming Leyland White with virtually untouched orange/brown 'Deckchair' trim and a black hood
- Accompanied by a history file which includes the original purchase invoice, MGB driver's hand-book, Ziebart guarantee and a wealth of MOTs
- Seemingly original and unrestored, a time-warp example with just three previous keepers, simply unrepeatable
- Evidently dry-stored correctly over the years, a best-of-breed affordable classic with basic mechanicals ready for anything
Offered here is a lovely 1979 MGB Roadster showing just 8,483 miles from new. First registered on 8th June 1979, this cool British sports car was delivered new by Studholme Dixon & Co Ltd. finished in glorious Leyland White with virtually untouched orange/brown 'Deckchair' trim and a black hood It's fitted with overdrive and chrome wire wheels and has benefited from Ziebart rust treatment, low use over the years and correct dry storage, remaining in time-warp condition.
Accompanied by a detailed history file containing the original purchase invoice, original MGB drivers hand-book, Ziebart guarantee, British Leyland ‘Supercover’ servicing and breakdown package, invoices and receipts for parts over the years, old MOTs, old registration papers and its current V5c.
This is a rare find and is described as excellent overall and seemingly mostly original. MGBs tend to be overlooked as there are so many around but they are good looking, affordable classics that go and handle well, and with the top down on a Summer's day, represent all that we love about British sports cars.
