As the spiritual predecessor to Mazda’s MX-5, the MGB offers a good-handling and low stress option as a classic car.
We point out in a feature on the series: “There are a few reasons for that. They don’t cost a million bucks, are mechanically simple and fairly robust, hold their value well and are actually fun to drive. Plus, there’s a huge worldwide support network for these cars, as they were built in big numbers (over 500,000!) from1962 through to 1980. They were even assembled in Australia (1963-72) with some 9000 examples being screwed together here., augmented by a fair few imports.”
This 1969 MkII runs the 1.8lt inline four with four-speed manual transmission.
Located in the ACT, it’s on the market for $25,000.
