The MG B is often considered as a synonym for a classic sports cars. Presented as an open model in 1962 with the 1800 cubic meter in-line engine, the MG B produced 95 horsepower and the car accelerated from standstill to 100 km/h in about ten seconds. The MGB became popular despite the class boundaries: Its body was light and beautiful and the car’s driving characteristics were excellent.

This car is an early “pull handle”. The car was brought to Finland from the United States, and restored to a high standard in Finland by an MG enthusiast. The restoration has been comprehensive and included a thorough restoration of the car’s body, engine and electrics and renewing the interior. The restoration was completed and car was registered in Finland in 2009 and won the MG Club Concours competition in 2011.

In the fall of 2023, the car has been comprehensively serviced and renovated: The brake master cylinder has been renovated, the fuel tank and hoses have been renewed, the starter motor has been renewed, and the front shock absorbers have been renewed. The thermostat housing has been renewed, the coolants and engine oils and filters have been changed.

The MGB’s engine is the original B-series engine with two SU carburettors. Not matching numbers. The car’s engine runs smoothly and the transmission works flawlessly.

The car’s bodywork and paintwork are still in really good and impressive condition, and the black artificial leather interior with red cedar strips is clean and intact.

Registered as a museum vehicle. The car has been inspected until May 2025. A beautiful British sports car ready to be enjoyed.

The car is located in Vantaa, 25 minutes from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Views by appointment.
