Description
MGB ROADSTER – 1965 1,798 cm³ – 4-cylinder – Overdrive Date of first registration: 24/09/1965 Fuel: Petrol Body style: Convertible Registration number: AZ-072-ZY Chassis number: GHN366526 Tax power: 10 CV Odometer reading: 26,922 miles – not guaranteed Colour: Red French vehicle registration document – classic car Classic car roadworthiness test passed on 24/09/2026 – valid until 23/09/2031 Fitted with overdrive Model history Introduced in 1962 as the successor to the MGA, the MGB Roadster marked a significant development for MG with the adoption of a monocoque structure, which was more modern than the separate chassis used on its predecessor. It quickly became one of the most widely sold British roadsters of its time. Production of the roadster continued until 1980, with over 500,000 units produced across all variants. The MGB was fitted with a 1,798 cm³ BMC Series B inline four-cylinder engine. For cars of this period, MG quoted a figure of around 95 bhp, delivered via two SU carburettors. Power was transmitted via a four-speed manual gearbox, with the Laycock overdrive available as an option from 1963. The year 1965 marked an interesting period in the model’s development: the introduction of the five-main-bearing engine, an increase in fuel tank capacity and various minor upgrades. The MGB GT coupé was not unveiled until the autumn of 1965. Our example This particular example was first registered on 24 September 1965 and bears the chassis number GHN366526. It is finished in red with a black interior featuring light-coloured piping, a black soft top and spoked wheels. The interior features, amongst other things, a wooden-rimmed steering wheel and classic MG instrumentation. The car is fitted with an overdrive, a feature particularly appreciated on MGBs for the driving pleasure it provides on the open road. The odometer reads 26,922 miles; this mileage is not guaranteed. The MOT certificate expressly states that the vehicle is fitted with a five-digit odometer graduated in miles and that no conversion to kilometres has been carried out. A visual inspection reveals the bodywork to be in good overall condition, along with a well-maintained interior. Some signs of wear are visible on certain trim and finishing elements. Photographs of the underside show a chassis that has undergone previous repairs and/or restoration work. The auction house does not guarantee the origin, date or extent of these interventions. The auction house has not verified whether all mechanical and aesthetic components exactly conform to the factory-fit specification. MOT MOT certificate issued on 24/09/2026. Mileage recorded: 26,922 miles on the odometer. Valid until: 23/09/2031.
