And another project from the Bavarian capital Munich. This time it is a British MGB Roadster, which was first registered in beautiful Vienna in 1967. The widow sold this great example of British sports car to Munich in the early 2010s.
Before the sale, there were already a few half-hearted restoration attempts. The rust from the last 50 years and moderate accident damage, which was probably "professionally" repaired with construction foam in the 1980s, were removed by a complete restoration of the body.
The engine was almost completely clogged with old antifreeze and needed a complete overhaul. After a full paint job and some new interior fittings, the car went back to Munich.

Imagine you're walking through the English countryside, the smell of freshly mown grass in the air, and suddenly you hear the gentle growl of an engine. You turn around, and there it is: the MG B - classic, tasteful and unmistakably British. The MG B isn't just a car; it's a time capsule on wheels that catapults us straight into the Swinging Sixties.
Introduced in 1962, the MG B was like the cool uncle everyone wanted to have. Sleek, athletic and with the charisma of a gentleman who knew how to make a perfect entrance. With its timeless design and clean lines, the MG B was a car lover's dream and the pride of British engineering.
Under the hood was a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that had enough power to be considered a serious sports car in the 1960s. Sure, by today's standards the MG B might seem rather laid back, but don't be fooled: what it lacked in raw horsepower it made up for with unrivalled character and pure driving pleasure.
The MG B was more than just a vehicle; it was a statement. It said, "Yes, I could go faster, but why should I? I'm enjoying the ride." This car wasn't about arriving, it was about being on the road. It was the perfect car for sunny Sunday drives through the countryside, with the wind in your hair and a smile on your face.
And then there was the reliability. The MG B was as sturdy as an English oak tree. Of course it had its faults - what car of that era didn't? - but its owners loved it anyway, perhaps because of that. It was like a loyal dog that occasionally chewed on slippers but always asked for forgiveness with faithful eyes.
In summary, the MG B is more than just a classic car. It is a piece of British cultural history, a symbol of freedom and adventure, and proof that true beauty is timeless. In the world of classic cars, the MG B is not just another car; it is a legend on four wheels.
