1978 MGB Roadster
Well cared-for low-mileage
Roadster showing just 52,350 miles; overdrive; leather seats; lots of extras;
Ziebart treated from new
First registered on 1st August 1978, this
smart red B Roadster has led an easy life. Its first owner acquired the car from
Westgate Motors in Wakefield and the original (unstampted) Passport to Service
is on file along with its free 1,000 mile service voucher. It was ordered with
mud flaps and rear fog lights as aftermarket extras.
Its first of four
owners kept the car until 2007, clearly looking after the car very carefully.
The original Ziebart underseal guarantee is on file, along with documents
showing annual underside pressure washing and checking by Ziebart
themselves.
Over the years it had lots of goodies added, including a
front spoiler, Moto-Lita steering wheel, two sports recliner seats trimmed in
leather, a Falcon stainless exhaust (very rorty) and a padded roll bar. Naylor
Brothers supplied the trim kit which included upgraded carpets.
The
considerable history file includes 20 MOTs, covering 1986 (by which time it had
covered 24,053 miles) to its current ticket which expires May 2022. It has its
old-style V5 as well as V5Cs from previous owners. It has changed hands several
time recently and is being offered for sale by the vendor due to his advancing
years.
Photos on file show it has been fitted with a variety of wheels
over the period, starting with Rostyles and ending up on a set of wires. The
hubs have been convered as these use the correct Rudge hub and are not the
cheaper bolt on variety.
In particularly sound and original order, this
attractive Roadster is ready for its new owner to enjoy. The interesting number
MLV 8F is included in the sale.
