Description
MGB GT – Fully Restored/ Overdrive/ Webesto
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.
Milestone Classics are delighted to offer an early MGB GT that was supplied to University Motors London on 20th June 1968. The GT was the subject of a full restoration completed by Tim Kelly, MG Specialist Cornwall (5 Star/ 5 Spanner rating MG Owners Club) in 1996. The car has covered just over 20, 000 miles since and is in absolutely lovely condition – the sign of a “proper” restoration by a company who knows their business.
