MG MGB ROADSTER Mk III – 1973 – CHROME BUMPER British roadster – 4-cylinder – 1,798 cm³ – manual gearbox – rear-wheel drive Date of first registration: 20/07/1973 Make: MG Model: MGB Roadster Mk III Fuel: Petrol Body style: Convertible Registration number: CV-007-XK Chassis number: GHN5319788G Tax power: 10 CV Odometer reading: 48,840 km – not guaranteed Colour: Red Seating capacity: 2 French registration document marked ‘classic car’ Unveiled in 1962 as the successor to the MGA, the MGB marked a significant development in MG’s history with the adoption of a monocoque body. Powered by the famous 1,798 cm³ four-cylinder engine and featuring a classic rear-wheel-drive layout, it quickly established itself as one of the most iconic British roadsters of its era. Produced until 1980 with over half a million units made across all versions, the MGB owes its success to the elegance of its lines, the simplicity of its mechanics and its driving pleasure. This 1973 model belongs to the so-called ‘Chrome Bumper’ generation, predating the adoption of the bulky black bumpers fitted to later models. It thus retains the classic MGB look with a chrome grille and chrome bumpers. This car is finished in red, paired with a black interior featuring red piping. The engine has been fully restored. Features and appearance: - spoke wheels; - chrome bumpers with bump stops; - chrome grille; - three-spoke wooden steering wheel; - full instrument panel; - black upholstery with red piping; - centre console; - black soft top; - chrome exterior wing mirrors. The bodywork is in good overall condition. The chrome trim shows signs of wear consistent with the vehicle’s age. The interior is generally in good condition. However, the upholstery shows signs of wear, creases and cracks, particularly visible on the front seat cushions. Odometer reading: 48,840 km – not guaranteed. The vehicle is sold in its current condition, as presented at the pre-sale exhibition. Given its age, signs of wear and tear, defects, previous restorations, repairs or modifications may be present. Bidders are invited to inspect the vehicle and its documents in person during the pre-sale viewing. Classic car – French registration certificate.
