MGB GT: Overdrive/ Chrome Wires/ Webasto Roof
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.
We are always on the lookout for nice MGB GT’s and were therefore delighted when the owner of this lovely, locally owned example asked us to part-exchange his cherished GT for another Milestones classic.
The BGT presents extremely well and ticks just about all the boxes. The red paint work is lovely and the period vinyl roof/ folding Webasto with chrome wires presents well and makes for a very desirable combination.
Mechanically the car drives very as you would expect and has recently benefited from a starter-motor, ignition overhaul, brake overhaul and has always been regularly serviced.
The interior does not disappoint. Over recent years the super fastidious owner has fitted new black leather seat covers with red piping, carpets, roof-lining and Motolita steering wheel – it is a lovely place to be.
The GT appears to have spent most of her life in Sussex and Hampshire – she was supplied new to Wadham Stringer Limited, Southampton on 5th April 1972. There is a large history file going back to 1990 containing Heritage Certificate, old MOT’s, lots of invoices, photographs of the car etc.
Ready for a road trip on the North Coast 500 with soft bags and partner, displayed at the local classic car show or simply a drive down to the local pub, this stunning classic is ready to use and enjoyed by her next custodian.
