MG B Roadster (1963)

Moritz Niemann

Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

This is an early MG B Roadster with left-hand drive, finished in the highly sought-after British Racing Green exterior color. Since 2018, continuous investments have been made in the vehicle’s mechanics and convertible top; two expert reports confirm a grade of 3+. Early models with chrome bumpers are particularly sought after today. A ready-to-drive introduction to the world of British roadsters, including an H license plate.

Comments of this past auction

    Technik: Die Fahrleistungen des MGB waren zu ihrer Zeit durchaus ansehnlich, denn er beschleunigte von 0 auf 100 km/h in nur etwas mehr als 11 Sekunden, was auf sein geringes Gewicht zurückzuführen ist. Leichtes Handling war eine der Stärken des MGB. Der BMC-B-Motor mit 1798 cm³ Hubraum und dreifach gelagerter Kurbelwelle – der gleiche, der auch beim Austin 1800 verwendet wurde, nur mit zwei SU-Vergasern – leistete 95 bhp (70 kW) bei 5400/min. Im Oktober 1964 bekam die Maschine fünf Kurbelwellenlager, was ihre Zuverlässigkeit erhöhte. Der Großteil der MGB wurde in die USA exportiert. 1974, als die Emissionsvorschriften in den USA verschärft wurden, musste der MGB-Motor in der Leistung zurückgenommen werden. Neben den leistungsschwächeren Motoren hatten diese MGB 25 mm mehr Bodenfreiheit und gummiverkleidete Stoßfänger, die die verchromten Exemplare auf allen Märkten ersetzten und dem Wagen den Spitznamen „Gummiboot“ eintrugen.
