Lot 062: 1962 MG B ROADSTER

Finished in red with black vinyl upholstery (piped in white), this particular example is described by the vendor as being in good overall condition. Thought by him to be "one of the first MGB MKIs manufactured on November 1st 1962" on account of its chassis number, it has been in his possession since November 1995. Believed but not warranted to have covered 58,350 miles from new (with a mere 550 or so of those being added during the current ownership), it is said to have had the following components replaced: "batteries (x2), brake callipers, brake discs / pads, dynamo, radiator, plugs, points, condenser, coil, plug leads, clutch / brake seals, headlamp units and carburettor needles / valves". Further benefiting from an engine de-coke including "reground valves etc", its boot contains a new dark green vinyl soft-top together with the original hood frame. Sporting wire wheels, a white hardtop and positive earth period radio, '606 GOV' is offered for sale with MOT certificate current until 30th June 2006 and historic class (free) road tax until 31st July 2006.
