1963 MGB SPORTS ROADSTER
Registration No. 626 HOJ
Chassis No. GHN 36450
Engine No. 189UH 7001
Iris blue with black leather interior
Right hand drive
The much loved MGB was a continuation of Abingdon's familiar theme of providing fun motoring at relatively low cost thanks to the economies of using mass produced mechanical components. The MGB was introduced in September 1962 and was the first MG design to use a complete unit body construction. The new engine was a further development of the Austin designed B-series unit and the 1,798cc produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm which compared favourably with the 85bhp of the MGA 1600 MkII which it was superceding. The MGB was universally acclaimed by the press when it arrived for having stylish, clean lines, excellent road manners and good all-around creature comforts. It went on to become one the most successful models of all time.
This example was purchased in a fully restored state by the current owner in June 1990 and has had limited and careful use since. The restoration was carried out by two engineers as a private venture and there are a large amount of bills to support their work. The engine is described as very tight indeed and uses no oil. The current MoT runs until June 1995.
