1981 MGB LE Roadster

An exceptionally rare and highly sought-after collectible, this 1981 MGB Limited Edition (LE) Roadster is one of only 420 units ever built to mark the final run of MGB production. Showing just 53,000 miles on the odometer, this car is in superb, highly original condition and offers an authentic, untamed classic driving experience that fully restored models simply cannot match.

If you want a classic convertible that truly stands out in a crowd at any car show, this rare LE model is the one to have.

Exterior & Bodywork
Paint & Body: Finished in its striking, factory-correct Bronze Metallic paintwork, which retains a fantastic shine. The bodywork is incredibly solid throughout, featuring clean shut lines, original spot welds on the wheel arches, and crisp panels.

Wheels & Tyres: Fitted with its distinctive original Stag-style alloy wheels (including a matching original 5th alloy spare wheel). Brand new tyres have recently been fitted across all wheels.

Convertible Hood: The soft-top hood is in excellent condition with clear rear plastic windows, offering complete weather protection when needed.

Preservation: Rust-protected and Ziebarted from new, ensuring key areas such as the floor pans, sill structure, inner wings, and door shuts remain rock-solid.

Interior
Trim & Upholstery: Features the iconic and original "Deckchair" patterned fabric interior, unique to the LE model, bringing a bright, classic 1980s period feel.

Condition: Overall interior trim is remarkably well preserved, including tidy carpets and clear, functioning original instrumentation.

Mechanical & Mechanical Recommissioning
This car has been gently and thoughtfully recommissioned to ensure optimum reliability while preserving its overall originality:

Engine & Transmission: Drives smoothly and tightly, delivering the exact feel and responsiveness expected from a low-mileage, highly original MGB.

Cooling System: Brand new radiator fitted along with new cooling hoses.

Brakes & Servicing: Inspected and serviced with fresh engine oil and fluid changes carried out during recommissioning.

Engine Bay: Kept intentionally honest and unrestored to preserve its true original factory finish, offering a fantastic base for light, cosmetic weekend detailing if desired.

Key Highlights & Features

Mileage: ~53,000 miles showing.

Factory Features: Front spoiler, LE alloy wheels, Bronze Metallic finish, and deckchair interior.
