1963 MGB Roadster
Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster combined classic British styling with modern-for-its-day engineering, featuring a steel monocoque body, rack-and-pinion steering, independent front suspension, and a lively 1.8-liter (1798 cc) four-cylinder engine. Its low-slung profile, chrome bumpers, wire wheels, and open two-seat design helped make the MGB one of Britain’s most enduring and popular sports cars.
This 1963 MGB is owned by Robert and Pam Russell, who purchased it in 1980 from a collector in Kansas City, Missouri. The car was originally owned by an Air Force Service member who purchased it new while in Europe. This car underwent a multi-year, ground-up restoration, including complete disassembly before being carefully restored to its former glory. More than six decades after its introduction, this MGB remains a wonderful example of the simple, engaging sports-car experience that made the model an icon.
