Description
1975 MGB GT Manual Overdrive. Finished in timeless British Racing Green with beautifully contrasting black leather upholstery, this outstanding MG represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Britain’s most iconic sporting classics with exceptional provenance, remarkable originality and a highly desirable modern enhancement.
Supplied new by Mann Egerton, London SW19, on 12th March 1975, this MGB GT has enjoyed remarkably careful ownership throughout its life. The original keeper retained the car for an impressive 18 years, until 1993, and the most recent owner has cherished it for the last eight years.
Showing just 54, 000 miles, the mileage is believed genuine and is supported by an extensive history file containing a wealth of documentation including old MOT certificates, invoices, previous V5 registration documents, together with the car’s original Passport to Service and original owner’s handbook. Such provenance is becoming increasingly difficult to find and speaks volumes about the care this car has received over the last five decades.
The MGB GT is widely regarded as one of the finest sporting grand tourers of its era. Penned by the legendary design house Pininfarina, the GT combined the engaging driving dynamics of the open MGB with elegant fastback styling and genuine practicality. Today, the model enjoys immense popularity amongst enthusiasts thanks to its robust mechanicals, excellent parts availability and growing collectability.
This example benefits from a number of carefully considered upgrades which significantly enhance the driving experience. Most notably, in 2018 the car was fitted with a hydraulic power steering conversion at a cost of approximately £2, 500. Anyone familiar with driving classic MGs will appreciate just how transformative this modification is. The steering becomes lighter, more precise and considerably more enjoyable at low speeds without compromising the character of the car. It is quite simply a game-changing upgrade that makes the MGB GT far more usable and appealing in modern traffic conditions.
Further desirable features include: Manual gearbox with overdrive. Hydraulic power steering conversion. Wire wheels. Moto-Lita steering wheel. Stainless steel exhaust system.
Mechanically, the car has recently benefited from a comprehensive service with all fluids replaced, together with the fitment of a new radiator, new HT leads and a new fuel pump, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed immediately.
Combining attractive specification, documented low mileage, exceptional ownership history and the hugely desirable power steering conversion, this MGB GT offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a practical and enjoyable British classic that is equally suited to weekend touring, classic car events or simply enjoying on your favourite country roads.
A beautifully presented and exceptionally well-documented example of one of Britain’s most enduring sports cars.
