The Appeal

Crisp Pininfarina fastback styling, comfortable seats, a big Webasto sunroof and simple, dependable mechanicals all make this pretty British Racing Green BGT a proper ‘head and heart’ classic. It is in great condition thanks to a life lived in inland South Africa and professional storage in recent years as part of a large collection.

We’re told that the car has had just three keepers in its 52 years and runs and drives well. With that factory roof and optional overdrive, this is a well-specified, nicely presented example of these perennially popular GTs.
