Hull-based classic car specialists fit a Moss Motors air conditioning system to Britain’s best-loved open-top sports car
“The MGB was always the Roadster the nation fell in love with. Now you can enjoy every mile in genuine comfort — hood down, wind in your hair, and the temperature exactly where you want it.”
— Simon Lucas, Director, CCHL
Long celebrated as the quintessential British sports car, the MGB Roadster has captivated drivers since the 1960s with its timeless lines, spirited performance, and the unmatched joy of open-top driving. Working with Moss Motors — the world’s leading supplier of MGB parts and accessories — CCHL have engineered a climate solution that fits sympathetically within the Roadster’s compact cabin, delivering cool, conditioned air without compromising the car’s classic character or its celebrated soft-top experience.
The achievement is no small feat. The MGB’s tight engine bay, period-correct interior packaging, and open-top body structure present unique engineering challenges. CCHL’s careful integration ensures the Moss Motors system works in harmony with the car’s existing mechanicals — delivering genuine, effective cooling while remaining unobtrusive to even the most eagle-eyed MGB devotee.
For CCHL, whose reputation is built on building and refining MGB sports cars to the very highest standard, the development marks a meaningful new chapter in what these beloved machines can offer their owners.
Simon Lucas, Director of CCHL, said: “We’ve always believed the MGB deserves to be driven and enjoyed — not just admired. Partnering with Moss Motors to bring proper air conditioning to the Roadster means owners can now experience their car in real comfort, whatever the British summer decides to throw at them. It’s the same car they love, just better.”
The Moss Motors air conditioning system is now available as part of CCHL’s range of specialist services for MGB owners. Further details and enquiries are welcome directly from the team.
