The MGB was introduced at the October 1962 London Motor Show. It had an envelope body with low-cut doors and a useful trunk. Production lasted over an 18-year production run with styling changes occurring during that time. The MK1 MGBs, produced from 1962 through 1966 had styling cues such as pull-handle doors, steel dashboards, stow-away tops, and chrome bumpers. A small number of MGBs were given electronic overdrive operated by a switch on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. The overdrive unit allowed for comfortable highway cruising at 80 mph without placing unnecessary strain on the drivetrain.
This particular example is an early MGB with the overdrive transmission. It has the pull-type door hands and a metal dashboard. It was built in April of 1964 as a US-market model. The car has been treated to a full nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration for the prior owner in the early 2010s. The car is finished in black vinyl with the seats finished with red piping and the floor carpeted in red. It has the factory speaker console with speaker but no radio installed. It has a matching red aftermarket fiberglass hardtop in addition to the black roadster top.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2015
