MGB GT – Restored/ Overdrive/ Low Ownership
The MGB GT, designed by Pininfarina, was introduced in October 1965, and can claim to be one of the earliest sports hatchbacks to go into volume production. The rear deck offers excellent luggage space with a 2+2 option and improved aerodynamics gives the GT a top speed in excess of 100mph.
At Milestone Classic we always buy back cars that we have sold before and are delighted to have the opportunity to market this early MGB GT that we first sold three years ago.
The previous husband and wife (2nd) keeper had cherished the BGT since 1978. The car went through an expensive restoration with Motorspeed Ltd (West Sussex) in 1994/ 95 - the cost at the time was in excess of £8, 000 - and work included new floors, sills, wings, doors etc, with lots of supporting invoices and pictures.
In 2017 the car was purchased from Milestones by the current owners who used her as their wedding car and numerous road trips since. She has provided lots of fun and happy memories and is (regretfully) only being sold to make space for a newer/ larger classic.
The GT is just how we like our stock. To factory specification, the restoration has stood the test of time extremely well with just the odd paint blemish commensurate with light use over the last 25 years. Mechanically the car is excellent having been cossetted by the last two owners with a large history file demonstrating regular expenditure totalling thousands of pounds.
Today the word is out. Good examples of early BGT’s are highly desirable and this much loved, fastidiously maintained car will give years of pleasure to the fortunate new custodian.
