Description

At Position One Motor Company, every car undergoes a thorough 93-point health check with a marque specialist, ensuring confidence in its condition. This MGB GT LE has also benefited from key preparation works: a new rocker cover gasket, a full front-end suspension overhaul with new springs, arms and shocks, new polybushes fitted front and rear, and professional tracking. It now drives beautifully while retaining its originality. We also provide nationwide delivery, extended platinum warranties, finance packages and part-exchange facilities.

We are delighted to present this 1981 MG MGB GT Limited Edition, one of just 580 cars built to mark the end of MGB production. Believed to be production number 6 (chassis 031006), it is one of the earliest produced. Finished in Pewter Grey Metallic, exclusive to the GT LE, it retains its factory-original paintwork and has covered just 45, 140 miles from new.

Powered by the 1. 8-litre B-Series engine with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox and overdrive, it delivers the classic MGB driving experience. With its refreshed suspension and bushes, this car feels tight, responsive and ready to be enjoyed.

The car remains remarkably original, featuring its 13” Dunlop alloy wheels, factory front chin spoiler, LE side stripes and correct badging. Inside, the grey cloth upholstery and dashboard are in excellent condition, complemented by the heated rear window, rear fog lamp and period stereo. Importantly, there have been no aftermarket modifications.

This example has been enthusiast owned and comes with comprehensive history, confirming careful maintenance throughout its life. Combined with the recent works carried out by us, it offers both collectability and usability.

The GT LE is the final and rarest edition of the MGB, and examples as original and well-preserved as this are increasingly hard to find. With low mileage, exceptional provenance and sympathetic preparation, it is an ideal candidate for any collection, concours field or enthusiast’s garage.

Contact Position One Motor Company today to arrange a viewing, book a test drive or request a detailed video tour of this remarkable MG MGB GT LE.
