1971 MG MGB Roadster Mk II for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1971 MG MGB Roadster Mk II is a used car showing 39,780 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Tartan Red with a Black interior.

This MGB was sold new in California and kept its original blue California registration plate for a long time, the mark of a car that stayed in one state. It was fully restored in the 1990s, and the work is set out in a well-organised photo report, alongside a history file with invoices from 1991 onwards.

The paint is Tartan Red over black trim, and the car runs on RoStyle wheels, far quicker to clean than wire wheels. It has the overdrive, which lowers engine speed on longer runs and makes the roadster surprisingly relaxed on the open road.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The MG MGB Roadster Mk II uses the 1,798 cc B-Series four-cylinder with a five-bearing crankshaft and twin SU carburettors, rated at 95 hp (71 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 142 Nm at 2,500 rpm in British specification in 1971, US cars being detuned for emissions, with an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox with optional overdrive, driving the rear wheels.
