The body underwent a restoration 12 years ago, receiving new panels, sills, and a full repaint in it’s correct factory colour of Harvest Gold, ensuring it keeps elements of it’s original look.

The Model: The MGB GT was first introduced in October 1965 and remained in production until 1980, with the US market being served until 1974. Its fixed roof design, a collaboration with Pininfarina, launched the ‘greenhouse’, sporty hatchback style, offering the versatility of an estate car with the aesthetic of a coupe. The 2+2 seating arrangement and increased luggage space made the GT a practical yet stylish choice. The MGB GT has become a bit of an icon and a favourite of many classic enthusiats, even being named one of the “16 of Pininfarina’s Most Beautiful Designs That Aren’t Ferraris” by Road & Track in 2019.
