RESTORED FLAMENCO B

On its release in 1962 the MG B became an instant success. The new monocoque body provided a much stronger body unit assembly when compared to all previous MG's which had separate body and chassis. The MGB was in production until 1980, with over half a million built and over 400,000 of these going to the important North American market.

September 1974 marked the introduction of the single largest update to the then, 12 Year Old MG B. To meet the ever tightening American Design Rules, the MG B was fitted with steel reinforced black rubber bumpers front and rear, the ride height was raised by 1, the dual circuit braking system was uprated with the fitment of a brake booster and the cooling system was also improved.

This MGB presents well finished in Flamenco, repainted in 2021 with contrasting black interior with the only addition being a Pioneer CD Tuner with USB input. To protect you when the weather turns sour the B is fitted with both a Smiths heater and a black vinyl soft top, fitted new in 2021.

Mechanically quite standard, the only upgrades are the fitment of twin 1½ SU carburettors, a spin-on oil filter conversion, electronic ignition and a new Bosch alternator, providing improved reliability and performance. For battery preservation a kill switch has been fitted an CTEK trickle charger is included.

Unlike the earlier rubber bumper MG B's, this 1977 B is fitted with the factory revised suspension geometry, allowing the taller ride height, without compromising road-holding, while further improving the ride through greater suspension travel and ground clearance.
