1978 MG MGB Roadster for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1978 MG MGB Roadster is a used car showing 68,442 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Leyland White with a Blue interior.

A sound restoration carried out years ago has been carefully maintained ever since, and the last owner kept the car for 15 years. Although it dates from 1978, it has been given back the distinctive appearance of the roadsters of the 1960s and early 1970s.

It wears Leyland White over blue upholstery and has the overdrive, which makes long runs more relaxed. The paperwork is modest but includes the Heritage Certificate, and the dealer sees it as a pure driver's car that is a joy to drive.

No photographs of the car itself have been published by the dealer yet; the listing is marked as expected.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The MG MGB Roadster (1974–1980) uses the 1,798 cc B-Series four-cylinder with a five-bearing crankshaft, rated at 85 hp and 136 Nm in British specification from 1975, with an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox with optional overdrive, working on fourth gear only from February 1977, driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This MG MGB Roadster in the European market

Can this MG MGB Roadster be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this MG MGB Roadster compare?

68,442 km recorded, against a median of 51,728 km across the MG MGB Roadster advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this MG MGB Roadster, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this MG MGB Roadster be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this MG MGB Roadster still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider MG MGB Roadster market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the MGB Roadster, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
