1971 MG B GT 87,800 (Not Warranted) £5550 + buyers premium

Description:

Well-Cared For: This 1971 MG B GT with its midnight blue finish and luxury black leather interior looks very striking. It’s appeal is further heightened by the presence of a manual transmission with overdrive. Notably, this gem underwent a complete restoration approximately 20 years ago.

Great Maintenance: A testament to its enduring quality and care, this MG B GT boasts a great maintenance history. In 2010, it passed its MOT with flying colors, receiving no advisories, and recorded a modest 87,683 miles. Since then, it has been driven just 117 miles, demonstrating a commitment to preserving its heritage.

Comes with Everything: This MG B GT is a genuine chrome bumper GHD5 model, with classic British sports car character. Notably, its bumpers have been removed and ‘Sebring’ front and rear valances have been fitted that lend it a sporty, track-inspired appearance. While originally equipped with wire wheels, it now features eye-catching center-lock alloys which roll on matching Barum tires.

Classic Appeal: A fusion of old-school charm and modern upgrades defines this MG B GT. On the exterior, it wears the ‘fast road/track’ look, but step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a luxurious black leather inteiror. From the front and rear seats to the center armrest and dashboard, the leather remains in excellent condition.

Mixing Old and New: Under the bonnet, this MG B GT has received some performance enhancements, including K&N filters, a wrapped free-flow exhaust manifold, sports exhaust, and SPAX rear suspension. While the engine was purportedly replaced before the last owner’s acquisition in 1997, the specifics of these upgrades have been lost to time, as the paperwork has gone astray. Nevertheless, the high-quality restoration work done in the past is evident and has stood the test of time.

Seller’s Insight: The only accompanying paperwork for this MG B GT is the V5C and a trusty Haynes manual. Despite the absence of other records, the thoroughness and quality of the restoration are evident, underscoring the care put into this MG over the years.

Auction Info: Don’t miss the opportunity to own this sporty style B GT. With it’s tasteful upgrades, it’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
