A good example of a desirable chrome bumper 1973 MG B GT, finished in classic Damask Red over a Navy Blue cloth interior. This car has remained within the same family ownership from 1982 through to January 2026, with the most recent former keeper enjoying a remarkable 22-year period of custodianship from 2004 until 2026. Presenting well overall, the car retains an honest character with some light age-related wear consistent with its years.
Accompanied by a collection of MOT certificates and invoices, the history file includes a particularly notable bill for an engine rebuild carried out in 1987 by Perrett Engineering at a cost of £551.92 — a significant sum at the time and evidence of proper investment in the car’s mechanical health. More recently, all door and window seals have been replaced, along with the fitment of new brake calipers and shoes. Having covered just 2,000 miles since 1990, the car has now been recommissioned and is presented ready to drive and enjoy.
Long-term ownership is often one of the strongest indicators of a well-loved classic, and this MG is no exception. Remaining in the same family for over four decades, it has clearly benefited from consistent care rather than transient custodianship. The 22-year tenure of the last keeper further reinforces its enthusiast appeal and suggests sympathetic use and ongoing attention.
The fixed-roof MGB GT was introduced in October 1965, blending sporting credentials with genuine practicality. Styled by Pininfarina, the elegant greenhouse design effectively launched the sporty hatchback concept, combining a sloping rear window with a functional rear deck lid. The result was a stylish 2+2 configuration offering far greater luggage capacity than the roadster while retaining the classic MG silhouette. Production continued until 1980 (with US exports ending in 1974), and in 2019 Road & Track named the GT one of the “16 of Pininfarina’s Most Beautiful Designs That Aren’t Ferraris".
A chrome bumper, long-term family-owned example with documented mechanical work, minimal mileage over the past three decades and recent recommissioning, this MG B GT represents an attractive and usable entry into classic motoring.
