"1966 MG B Roadster Serial number GHN3L99738 Elegant roadster, easy to use Ideal for sunny days It was at the London Motor Show in September 1962 that MG launched the replacement for the MGA, which was logically called the MGB. More modern in line, the drawing of the car is tenser and more angular. With windows in the doors, it is no longer a roadster but a convertible. The MGB is finally much less spartan than the MGA. The interior is also larger. Strictly a two-seater, its character remains guided by a by a sporting spirit. Elegant in the city as well as in the country, the MGB is at ease in any environment. The engine is also of a more important displacement since it passes from 1600 to 1800 cm3. In October 1964 the engine evolves and passes from 3 to 5 bearings to maintain the crankshaft. It is in March 1965, that the external handles of the doors become fixed with a push button. The model we present is a roadster in original left-hand drive. The interior has been restored and is now in very nice condition. The car comes with an important file of invoices. Its road handling is very pleasant, a sign of a healthy engine. The hood is in very good condition, the chromes are shiny, the underbody is clean. The bodywork has some minor paint defects. This MGB Roadster is the perfect car for your summer, whether it's on the French Riviera or in Cap-Ferret.
