Description

The MGB GT, introduced by the British Motor Corporation in 1965, marked a new era in British sports cars. With a sleek fastback body designed by Pininfarina, it combined the classic charm of the MGB roadster with the practicality and poise of a grand tourer. Over the years, the GT earned a devoted following for its timeless design and engaging driving experience.

What you see here is not just another classic MGB GT. This is a no-expense-spared V8 build that has evolved over two decades into one of the most impressive examples on the market today. With over 100 invoices from 2003 to 2023, including an original receipt for £13, 000 in parts alone, the passion and commitment behind this car are immediately evident. The build was brought to its stunning conclusion — with an estimated additional investment of £70, 000–£80, 000, transforming this GT into a truly exceptional car.
