1965 MGB Roadster Mk I – Tartan Red

We are delighted to present this stunning 1965 MGB Roadster Mk I, finished in the iconic colour of Tartan Red. Introduced in 1962, Tartan Red became one of the most recognisable colours available on the early MGB, perfectly complementing the timeless styling of this classic British sports car.

First registered on 1st May 1965, this lovely example has had just seven former keepers and benefits from a recent programme of restoration and improvement, making it a particularly appealing addition to any classic car collection.

The car sits beautifully on a set of chrome wire wheels with matching tyres, giving it an unmistakably traditional British sports car appearance. The exterior is complemented by a smart black leather interior featuring contrasting red piping, while further features include a new black mohair hood, carpeted boot and period radio.

Under the bonnet, the car retains the character and charm expected of an early MGB, paired with a four-speed gearbox featuring overdrive on third and fourth gears for more relaxed cruising.

This MGB is local to us at Midlands Classic Motors and has arrived through a reputable local MG enthusiast who, over the past 12 months, has invested approximately £5,000 in bringing the car back to its former glory.

Accompanying the car is a comprehensive history file, including old MOT certificates dating back to 2000, when the recorded mileage was just 3,425 miles. These records indicate that the car has covered approximately 12,000 miles over the past 26 years, adding to its appeal as a classic that has seen relatively limited use while benefiting from recent restoration work.

Out on the road, this Mk I MGB is a genuine pleasure to drive, with the performance and handling to keep up comfortably with modern traffic while delivering the character and enjoyment that make these early MGs so desirable.

A beautifully presented example of the sought-after Mk I MGB Roadster, combining its iconic Tartan Red finish, classic wire wheels, attractive interior and recent investment to create a wonderful opportunity for any enthusiast.
