The Appeal
The MGB GT is a deeply evocative machine from tyre to tyre. Pininfarina's sleek fastback was promptly celebrated as one of the most handsome cars ever built in Britain, and thanks to the MGB's enormous support network, it's a very accommodating machine for mods and custom jobs.
This 1972 example goes well beyond a standard GT, having been comprehensively restored and fitted with a 1,860cc fast road engine built by MG Motorsports at a cost exceeding £13,000. The vendor describes the resulting driving experience as exhilarating, with a stirring exhaust note to match - achieving performance that a base Abingdon car could only dream of.
Finished in High Gloss Midnight Blue over a Navy cabin, this handsomely finished GT also carries an advisory-free MOT until April 2027. A real turnkey, charismatic classic. Rebuilt gearbox and overdrive installed with a battery isolator. image.png2.46 MB
