Lot details

Registration No: PAD267W
Chassis No: GVADJ1AG522711
MOT: T.B.A 53,200 recorded and credible miles and just 5 former keepers shown on the V5c 1 of just 421 LE roadsters made to mark the end of the line for home market MGBs New Mohair hood and last serviced in 2018 plus history file

The production of 1,000 LE's (421 Roadsters/579 GTs) in October 1980 marked the end of the line for home market MGBs. The LE (ie Limited Edition) Roadsters were all finished in Metallic Bronze, trimmed in Orange/Brown cloth and featured distinctive Gold stripes on their flanks, Triumph Stag-style alloy wheels and deep front spoilers. The price tag was £6,445, for which you received a very well-sorted two-seater sports car.

They have inevitably become collectible, and the very smart 1981 example offered was supplied new by F.W Cuffs and Co of Chipping Campden. The credible but unwarranted odometer reading – currently 53,200 miles – is thought to represent the total covered from new. Only five former keepers are shown on the V5C Registration Document and the MG comes complete with copies of its service records plus a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices. Having received a new Mohair hood and last serviced in 2018, it is no surprise the vendor currently grades the engine, transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork all as ‘very good’.
