Car History
The **MGB Roadster**, introduced in 1962, quickly became one of the most popular British sports cars of its era. Its lightweight monocoque design was revolutionary for the time, offering improved rigidity and handling. By 1974, the MGB had become an icon, widely loved for its **reliability, affordability, and timeless style**.
The **1974 model** featured a **1.8-litre engine** producing **95 bhp**, paired with a **4-speed manual gearbox** with optional overdrive, allowing for smooth long-distance touring. While later models incorporated rubber bumpers to meet US regulations, the early 1974 version retained its original chrome bumper design, adding to its collectability.
The **MGB Roadster Red** remains a symbol of **classic British motoring**, beloved for its engaging driving experience and elegant simplicity.
