Classic car specialist Landbeasts is selling two unmolested MGs after buying them from a Northamptonshire collector. An MGB Roadster with 79 miles on the clock, and an MG Midget with just 67 recorded miles are priced at £23,995 and £18,995 respectively.
The rubber-bumper 1981 MGB roadster is one of the 420 limited edition roadsters produced to commemorate the end of the MGB production and closure of the Abingdon factory. It was put in storage almost immediately after it rolled off the production line.
The 1980 MG Midget was bought by a dealer, but wasn't sold. The dealer eventually took the car home for himself - a trip of 67 miles - but never registered it and never drove it again.
Landbeasts' proprietor Adnan Mallick said: 'We only buy outstanding vehicles and these two are surely two of the best examples of an MGB and Midget in the country. They're completely original. They've even still got chalk markings in the engine bay from the engineers. For added nostalgia, I have a copy of the Daily Mail from 2 July 1980 to go with the Midget, from the same month it was made.'
The north-east London firm is new to the classic scene, having formed the dealership after organising successful car meets in Greater London and Essex. Since then, Landbeasts now has more than 40,000 likes on Facebook and 30 cars in stock.
