This variant of the MGB GT, the fixed roof type, was introduced in 1965 and was designed by Pininfarina and really launched the sporty hatchback style, in fact it was named one of “Pininfarina’s most beautiful designs that aren’t Ferraris”.
This body style had the style and shape of a coupe but still offered the utility and space of a station wagon with its 2+2 layout and right angled rear bench seat. It offered far more space than the roadster.
The interior is clean and classy in all black trimmed in chrome. The seats and carpets were replaced during the restoration 13 years ago and as such are all in good condition besides a tear in the back of the drivers seat (see images).
All interior panels were reconditioned but some still show their authentic marks of age, and there is some slight flaking of vinyl around the speedometer. Also features an MG badged wood gear knob which is a nice touch. Also available should it be desired is the original steering wheel.
The exterior is very pleasant, being treated to a back to metal respray in dark green 13 years back. As such it is rust free and has a nice paint job, not show condition but nonetheless a very nice, clean green paint job. Also this is a slightly rare recessed grill model which is a nice stand out feature from other GT’s.
The chrome and black Rostyle wheels set off the fresh chrome trim and bumpers and are shod with good tyres. The silver on black number plates finishes the look of very nicely!
Very sound mechanically, the B series inline 4 has had a full rebuild and runs as it should. Very clean underneath and has had new U-joints, new springs, rear brakes amongst other things. See the restoration list for the full and comprehensive list of work carried out!
Chance to own a fully restored car that has had everything done, rare grill and just a very clean nice tidy example of the GT.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
