The story so far

Mum's MGB is a 1972, which makes it a proper classic at 54 years old. The MOT history has a few bumps - 1 fail alongside 4 passes - but that's not unusual for a car of this age. It's sitting at 58,200 miles, which is a decent run for its age. It's passed through 8 pairs of hands over the years, with the current keeper holding on for about 8. That's a solid run, though cars in this range do sometimes start to move. It's been registered under 3 different plates over the years, and we're scanning all of them. There are still 13,420 of these licensed on UK roads. As of now, it's taxed and still on the road. We've actually spotted it listed for sale recently - check the alerts above for the details.
