1963 MG B Roadster | London

The MGB arrived in 1962 as the successor to the MGA, a compact British two-seat roadster with a steel body and a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine. It is known and liked for simple, hands-on mechanicals and neat, balanced proportions. This car is an early pull-handle model from 1963, in red with a black interior and in excellent condition. The red against black trim gives strong contrast on camera, and the chrome along the body catches the light. The cockpit sits the driver close to the road, the handling is nimble, and the engine has a lively note. With the roof down, the low open body keeps driver and passenger in clear view, which suits fashion and editorial shoots, photography and music videos. A 1963 build date sits squarely in period for 1960s film and TV work, and the red stands out against London streets. It also makes a stylish wedding arrival or personal hire. The car is based in London.
