Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
Every car has a story. The series of events from the day its first owner stared wide-eyed at their new car to the teary-eyed day they said goodbye, a cycle that repeats throughout the years, decades and generations. So, when we find an extensive and in-depth history file in the car it always makes for amazing reading.
In this case, it’s the story of the 1971 MG B Roadster. Its previous owner has meticulously catalogued his work with the car but also did something we find utterly beautiful.
The previous had managed to track down the car’s original owner! The car was collected from a local MG dealer in Colwyn Bay in Wales on the 1st of January 1971, a British Racing Green with black interior 2-seater sports car. The first owner kept the car for a few years before then selling it to a friend who also adored the car for several years before selling it on.
Inside of the history folder is several handwritten letters between the previous owners to fill in the gaps in the car’s history.
There’s also a wonderful leather-bound photo album that documents the car’s aesthetic restoration in 1989/1990.
Again, it all goes to add to the incredible history of the car and show that each and every one of our classics has a story beyond our own with our cars.
