HISTORY/OVERVIEW
The MG B is a sports car produced by the MG car manufacturer and was a fundamental model for the Abingdon (UK) company, because it was its first sports car with a load-bearing body. The very first versions produced are called "Pull Handle" for the handles with pull opening.

This example is historically unique: it belonged to the Sardinian driver Antonino Siddi who ran, among others, the Mille Miglia twice. With this MG B he entered the 48th Targa Florio alongside Shelby Cobra, Porsche 904, Ferrari 250 GTO, ATS, Alfa TZ and was the first MG B to race the Targa. The palmares is documented by several photos (copyright Actualfoto and Pubbliphoto) and by magazines of the time and rankings.
It has had only one owner since 1980, the last technical inspection expired in 2017.

EXTERNAL
The car had a repaint in the 1980s and is in the original color (as Heritage was born with) but lived in and with various signs of aging. It can also be used while maintaining the patina of time
of a car with a sporting past.

The underbody and chassis have some spots of corrosion and require some localized repairs (see photos).

INTERNAL
The dashboard is complete with its rare instruments, European odometer and all its factory instruments. A sports seat is installed in the driver's seat but its seat is included together with other spare parts (see photo).

MECHANICS
Mechanically the engine runs, however the car has been started and requires maintenance to be able to be used due to the long standstill. The brakes are free.

This MGB is a unique opportunity for an easy restoration of a car with an important historical past: it can be used in competitions for cars from this historical period and can be easily tuned and be very competitive. You will never find another MGB with this history
