1970 MGB Roadster

Win This Exceptional 1970 MGB Roadster – Heritage Shell, Overdrive (Tartan Red)

We’re delighted to offer this superb 1970 MGB Roadster — a UK right-hand-drive, home-market car finished in Tartan Red with a black leather interior and red piping — as the prize in our latest Classic Car Competition. Rebuilt and reassembled to an exceptional standard by CCHL (Simon Lucas), renowned MG specialists. This is the kind of MGB that feels properly sorted: sharp, tight, confidence-inspiring, and ready to enjoy from day one.

A key part of what makes this one so special is the replacement Heritage bodyshell. It was stripped back to bare metal and resprayed, then carefully rebuilt and finished with all the right touches — so it presents beautifully and drives with that “nothing to chase” feeling. Under the bonnet sits the refreshed 1.8-litre (1798cc) B-Series running twin SU carburettors, paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive for relaxed cruising and effortless touring.

The specification ticks every box for an archetypal British roadster: a new mohair hood, walnut dashboard, and new chrome wire wheels and tyres, all tied together with a fresh interior that looks spot-on against the paintwork. And behind the wheel, it genuinely has that “brand new in 1970” feel — smooth, composed, and beautifully put together. It’s the sort of classic you’ll happily take anywhere — from local Sunday runs to longer trips — with the reassurance that it’ll get you there and bring you back home again.
