MGB Roadster in the New Forest

An edited version of a short trip in the New Forest in my 1970 MGB Roadster (red, chrome bumpers, wire wheels, walnut dash and overdrive). Sister in car with me (aged 13, hence some odd utterances), and my phone was taking the video attached to the windscreen by a tacky, cheap, plasticky thing I bought off Amazon for all of £5.99, hence the rather shaky video.
Enjoy

@klayking I got this mid-September 2010 for £3500. Got it valued by a local MG specialist at around £5000 ish. sootyferrari65 is right: They are cheaper in the winter. I have every confidence that this one would have gone for well over £5000 if it had been Spring, as people buy them for the Summer.

They are lovely to drive; completely different to anything modern, and all the better for it in my opinion, certainly compared to your typical 'first car'...

@sootyferrari65 Yeah, problem is I only have half of the money saved up so far. I'm in no rush though, as I don't actually need a car, but would love to have a B Roadster. It has been my dream car for quite some time now!

@klayking Better to buy early, they are cheaper in the winter. For 4k you can get a pretty good one

@sootyferrari65 That's awesome to hear! I'm still keeping my eye out for one like this, for around £4000. I hope to get one during the summer, maybe earlier maybe later, but some time this year!

@klayking I have one as my first car.....they are very nice to drive

This is a nice video. I'm wanting one of these for my first car, so I'm watching every video possible to see how they drive.

I must say that ironically the best moment of this video was 10:27.

That yay just made me crack up, as it's identical to this:
