The interior is original and presents beautifully, the original seat cloth is virtually unmarked and does not suffer from fading or wear.

The original Blaupunkt radio is present with matching speakers and cover plate.

Engine and transmission

The 1798cc four-cylinder twin carburettor engine is original and runs extremely well. The engine has just received a major service and MOT with parts being changed due to age. The engine bay is in an original condition and has been lightly detailed to retain its patina.

The rear brakes have been serviced. The underside, engine and wheel arches have been rust proofed from factory.

History file

The vehicle was first supplied new by Westgate Motors on 12th January 1978. The vehicle was named Maurice (after Morris Garages) by its first owner who bought the vehicle as a 21st birthday present to himself! The MGB GT’s service history file is impressive. The history file contains a selection of V5 documents, Leyland Supercover handbook portfolio with all Supercover information, original purchase invoice, original service book with dealer, identification and 1, 000 mile dealer service stamps, owners handbook, Austin Morris price list with dealer notes, original MOT certificates and later certificates, original brochure, all keys, original number plates, original tax disc and tax disc holder, a large collection of invoices and lastly a small book the first owner kept which contains all fuel fill ups, mileage and price.
