On the Surface: This 1976 MG B GT is a great example of a later rubber bumper model, finished in iconic British Racing Green with a Beige Leather interior. This example comes with it’s originality intact, including the black rubber bumpers, which are often removed but preserved on this particular car.

Maintenance & History: Though the paperwork for a rebuild carried out between 2001 and 2004 has been misplaced, the car still benefits from its restoration, including the fitting of a heritage bodyshell and a new trim kit, as reflected in an invoice from Moss of Bristol dated March 2000, totaling £4,353.58. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file with MOTs dating back to 1979, and invoices amounting to over £12,000.

To add to the strong papertrail of history this example has been owned by The Vendor for an impressive 23 years with just 3 former keepers before him.

The Model: 1974 saw the transition from chrome to rubber bumpers on all MG B’s, a change made to meet US regulations previously but in the car’s final iteration all cars were fitted with them. This alteration is often removed by enthusiasts, however, rather charmingly this car retains its rubber bumper look.

Sale Insight: After over two decades of ownership, The Vendor is reluctantly selling this beloved MG B GT due to an upcoming long-distance house move and the inability to store the car in his new location. This car presents an opportunity for an enthusiast to acquire a well-maintained example with a rich history file.
