This is one of 5 cars we hire professionally for self drive hire. Hire with the assurance that we operate to the trading guidelines of the UK classic car self drive hire trade association. We are the only association member within 60 miles of Royston. Chauffeur drive option also available for weddings and funerals. Every car enthusiasts must surely recognise the MGB. They were in production from 1962 until 1980 and are about the most popular of classic cars. An exhilarating 2 seat convertible sports car, the MGB received a revamp in October 1967. The changes were enough for MG to declare the iteration a Mark II model. Changes included altering the transmission tunnel to accommodate a modified gearbox, with revised ratios and synchromesh on all four gears, thus doing away with the need to learn the art of how to double declutch in order to avoid grinding the gears into first. Our car was made on Christmas eve 1968, so benefits from the improvement of synchromesh on first gear. It also features overdrive, to give a more relaxed driving experience. It is an absolute joy to drive, giving smiles per mile by the bucket full. This is perhaps the most iconic colour combination with the bright red paint and a black leather interior. I bought the vehicle in summer 2024 to join my MGB GT as part of my self drive hire portfolio.

Provenance & History

Sold new in Cardiff, the car spent its entire life in South or mid Wales until purchased by me. Originally white, the car must have undergone a very comprehensive restoration at some stage in its life as there is no trace of white anywhere on the bodywork now.
