1967 MGB GT - Smartly presented - Very Usable For Sale

We sold this excellent value, superb driving and very usable MGB in June 2021 to one of our regular customers in Scarborough and around 200 miles have been covered since. We MOT tested the MGB, serviced it, re-conditioned the radiator, and set up the carbs. Almost a year on its driven back to us faultlessly and we look forward to selling the car for the third time – its one we know well.
Prior to selling this restored Mineral Blue MGB in 2021, we sold it in 2014 to a lovely couple based near York in Stamford Bridge. During 7 years of ownership, they have kept the car superbly well maintained and covered 2000 miles in the car. The MGB had been thoroughly enjoyed, proven great fun to own and was driven back to us faultlessly from the York area . HJA 996E has a good history and spent 35 years with one family until 2013. The MG had been passed from father to daughter and in 2010 was subject of a major restoration carried out by a West Yorkshire MG specialist. Since restoration the MG has covered 4500 miles and was originally driven to us from Calverley, near Leeds performing faultlessly during the 60 mile journey here when first coming to us in 2013. We sold the MGB to a regular customer in Hornsea, the MG had regular weekend use covering 1200 miles and driving back here to us faultlessly after six months of ownership before selling to the couple in York.

During 2010 a total of £24, 000 was spent on HJA 996E. The bodywork required substantial repairs and was treated to various new panels and sections. A full photographic record of the body repairs accompanies the car detailing the areas that required replacement panels. All corroded areas were cut out and replaced with new metal and brand new floors fitted. The body was then prepared for paint with the engine bay stripped and engine removed; the car was then painted in its original colour of Mineral Blue. The MGB was mechanically re-commissioned and a re-conditioned engine with unleaded head fitted to the car. A new clutch was supplied, and the gearbox checked before re-fitting. A new webasto sunroof was fitted to the car and the headlining and carpets replaced. The wiring loom was replaced and various ancillaries replaced as necessary.

Since rebuild, the MG has performed incredibly well and proven perfectly reliable as you would expect after £24000 worth of expenditure. The car is structurally excellent and many years on since completion it has a well presented engine bay and has generally aged very well. The paintwork and bodywork are still of a good standard and the interior trim is tidy. The engine is excellent holding perfect oil pressure and the gearbox smooth and a delight to use. The MG did not have the optional extra of overdrive but is fantastic cruising on A and B roads.

Overall this is a smartly presented, very useable MGB GT that is priced sensibly over ten years on since restoration. The car comes with an impressive history file and having known the car for almost ten years, we can sell it for a third time with confidence. This is a BGT that will provide lots of fun motoring and will not disappoint on the road.
