1978 MG B GT 97,115 (Not Warranted) £6,350 + buyers premium

Description:

On the Surface: This is 1978 MG B GT. A distinctive late rubber bumper model that is in great condition overall backed up by a standout history file.

Maintenance:  In the history file you will find a wealth of invoices for work and upkeep as well as an August 2017 expense covered a comprehensive service, MOT test, and various replacements due to a 10-month period of inactivity amounting to £1,145.57.

History: The paperwork includes manuals, club magazines, and invoices totaling over £10,000. Notably, a bill of sale from 2004 details a purchase from California Classics of Hull, amounting to £13,270.65, covering not just the car but also additional features like a cassette player, walnut dash, sunroof, mudflaps, and custom number plates.

The Model: To meet 1974 US regulations, the MG B GT globally transitioned from chrome over-riders to oversized rubber bumpers. The black rubber front bumper, incorporating the grille area, resulted in a notable redesign of the car’s front end.

Sale Insight: This MG B GT, well-maintained and with a comprehensive history, is reluctantly sold due to storage limitations. Its condition and detailed records make it a appealing find for enthusiasts or collectors.
