MGB GT: Restored/ Maintained Regardless of Cost
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 Classics we are often approached to buy cars and usually have to say “no” as they do not meet our standards or our customers’ expectations.
We were therefore absolutely delighted when the long-term owner of this lovely GT approached Milestones and offered us his pride and joy as it was simply not being used and enjoyed.

Maintenance since 1995 has been carried out regardless of cost at Robin Lackford Motor Engineering – the only 5 Spanner MG Approved workshops in Sussex. Invoices in the large history file total more than £25k including new engine, overdrive unt and just about every mechanical component in the car.
Today the restoration still presents extremely well - the true test of workmanship and the unstinting approach to maintenance has really paid off.
Always used and enjoyed the GT drives as good as she looks and provides an utterly engaging drive with addictive exhaust note.
Ready to use and enjoy, be it island hopping on the West Coast of Scotland, attending the Goodwood Revival or simply a trip out on a summers evening to the local pub this GT ticks all the boxes
