Only 63,302 miles! 1970 MG MGB Roadster Moss 5-Speed, 191747


WHY THIS VEHICLE?

This exceptional 1970 MG MGB Roadster benefits from 22 years of meticulous enthusiast ownership, an $11,000 cosmetic restoration completed in 2013, a desirable Moss Motors five-speed transmission conversion installed in 2015, and more! Finished in Flame Red with a beautifully restored interior, it combines iconic British styling, extensively documented care, and thoughtful mechanical improvements for enhanced driving enjoyment. This is your opportunity to enjoy the charm and engagement of a classic British roadster without taking on a project, as the major restoration work and drivability upgrades have already been professionally completed.


The Moss Motors (Vitesse) five-speed conversion preserves the MGB’s engaging classic character while delivering silky-smooth shifts and a relaxed fifth gear for quieter, more comfortable highway cruising. Built around a proven Mazda MX-5 gearbox with a custom bellhousing and casing engineered to fit the MGB without permanent modifications, it offers modern drivability while maintaining a factory-correct appearance. With an estimated replacement cost of nearly $10,000 for the kit and professional installation alone, this is one of the most desirable and valuable upgrades for enthusiasts who plan to drive and tour their MGB regularly.

HISTORY

The most recent owner purchased this MG in 2004 and spent the next 22 years meticulously maintaining, improving, and restoring it without compromise. An extensive collection of records, included with the vehicle, documents the exceptional care and investment it received. In 2013, the MG underwent a comprehensive $11,000 cosmetic restoration, equivalent to approximately $16,000 today, including high-quality paintwork and a substantially renewed interior. All exterior trim, moldings, and components were removed before the body was carefully prepared and refinished, while the interior received new upholstery, carpeting, kick panels, trim, and more. In 2015, a Moss Motors five-speed transmission conversion was installed (also documented), and all vehicle mechanicals were thoroughly inspected and serviced. This work included refreshing the cylinder head and reinstalling it with a new head gasket and related components. The result is a thoughtfully restored, carefully improved, and extensively documented MGB ready for its next chapter.


CONDITION

Thanks to the previous owner's care and improvements, the MG is in amazing condition. The flame red paint shines brightly, and all exterior trim and moldings are in excellent condition. The soft top tonneau cover shows some wear in one area, and the only notable interior imperfection is very minor cracking on the dash panel cover. The underbody is remarkably well preserved and largely free of corrosion, clearly reflecting decades of careful ownership, proper storage, and attentive maintenance. Below, our comprehensive inspection and service status report provides detailed information about the vehicle's tire life, brake life, and more.
