Corgi: 1/43 MGB Roadster Mk3 (Purple) –
Diecast Model
The MGB modelled was registered in January 1974 and is presented as it was
when new. However, it’s led an interesting life. When only eight years old,
after being damaged, it was partially rebuilt by MG Specialists Chatham’s in
Braintree, Essex, and returned to almost as-new condition.
Since then it’s been well cared for by a number of owners as the
car’s substantial history file proves, before being purchased in 2013 by the
current owner, David Trotter, who is based in the French Alps. He sent the car
to well-known MG specialist Oselli, who fitted one of their fast-road 1950cc
engines, converted it to left-hand-drive, and carried out various other works to
improve it.
