MG B-Type MGB 1.8, 1975. Five owners, 64,477 km, service books from new.

MG, in full Morris Garages, is a marque that has been renowned since the 1920s for its sporty roadsters with a headstrong character. Where many marques chased luxury and grand shapes, MG chose pure driving pleasure from the very start: light in weight, sharp in the steering and built for people who love proper motoring.

In 1962, MG introduced the MGB: a roadster that quickly grew into a worldwide icon. The MGB was one of the first sports cars with a crumple zone, a modern monocoque design and a dependable 1.8-litre engine that delivered a playful, sporty drive. By the end of production in 1980, well over half a million examples had been built, proof of its immense popularity.

This particular 1975 MGB represents the golden age of British roadster culture. The slender lines and the pure, unfiltered feel behind the wheel make this a car that never dates.

This is an exceptionally handsome example. This MG MGB 1.8 LHD has been fully and professionally restored, with no detail overlooked. Both mechanically and cosmetically, this car is in absolutely as-new condition. The vivid Signal Red paintwork looks stunning and shows off those beautiful classic lines to perfection.

The engine runs smoothly, the gearbox shifts exactly as it should and the exhaust note sends every car enthusiast straight into raptures. The interior breathes nostalgia, with a sporty, classic ambience that makes this roadster unique.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 94 photographs including the underside. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This car is being auctioned on our own website, not on this platform. A reserve applies which we do not publish. If it is met, the car is sold to the highest bidder. If it is not met, we put the highest bid to the owner and you hear where you stand the same day.

How to bid: on the HooG Selections website, with a free account. That is also where you see the current bid and how much time is left. A bid sent by message or through this platform does not count in the auction; send us a message and we will send you the direct link. Bidding opens at € 7,500. The auction closes on 11 October 2026. If a bid comes in during the final minutes, the clock keeps running, so everyone has a chance to respond. A bid cannot be withdrawn once the auction is running. If you win, the sale is concluded; if you buy as a private individual, you then have the statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
