RetroMarques Ltd is pleased to offer for sale on behalf of the owner this stunning 1967 ‘Oxford Blue’ MGB Roadster FBL879E ...

A ‘nut and bolt’ restored MGB Roadster with details as follows:

  • Chassis no: GHN3-111871
  • Engine No: 18GB.RU.H.4783
  • First registered: 9 January 1967

A freshly restored MGB Roadster with just 200 or so miles on the clock and still being run in.

Specification:

  • Fully rebuilt engine including unleaded fuel conversion and to ‘fast-road’ specification
  • 4-speed manual gearbox + Overdrive
  • High-torque starter motor
  • Alternator and neg earth conversion
  • Performance stainless steel exhaust (Bell BSM 19/21)
  • Complete new cooling system, including new radiator and oil cooler
  • All new brake system (drums and discs)
  • Lightweight stainless fuel tank, new pump
  • All new bearings, bushes and sundries throughout
  • Powder coated wire wheels in silver with new tyres and chrome spinners
  • Black piped blue interior trim with black wool carpet and wood/alloy steering wheel
  • New vinyl hood and frame
  • Alloy bonnet
  • All-new brightwork and seals/rubbers
  • Static 3-point seatbelts

The car was purchased as a dismantled project from a deceased’s estate (the 3rd owner and for nearly 25 years) and much of the earlier history is consequently not present. Importantly however, the rebuild history is detailed on the file. We note that the rebuild has been carried out to a high standard with very good panel alignment and shut-lines and nice ‘level’ chrome strips on the flanks.

The V5C and MoT test (valid to July 2015) accompany the car and FBL879E is of course tax free.

This MGB is driving very strongly with the fast-road spec engine certainly apparent, so too the large-bore exhaust – a lovely engine note but not too noisy! The on-road experience allied with the very smart interior certainly makes this a nice place to be! Looking stunning in the Oxford Blue paint, silver wheels and chrome brightwork, FBL879E presents a great opportunity to purchase a virtually ‘as-new’ MGB Roadster.
