The MGB debuted in 1962 and was an almost instant success. The now iconic British sports car had a production run of almost 20 years and was the best selling sports car in the world for much of this time. 

With classic styling, a good engine and being easy to drive the MGBs success was all but guaranteed. The GT built upon the success of the roadster and with Pininfarina styling the body combined with the extra room provided the GT proved every bit the success.

The current owner bought the car around 15 months ago having always wanted an MG B GT from the widow of the previous owner who had owned the car for 45 years.

The previous owners bought the car from a friend who had it from new, so this MG B GT has only had three owners from new.

The previous owners loved the car and sent a heartfelt letter to the current owner describing what it meant to them and how they were glad it was going to someone who would really appreciate it, sadly now due to a change in circumstances he has decided to sell the car and hopes to be able to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.

There is some documentation from the previous owners that demonstrates the care taken with this car as well as all of the invoices for the work that has been carried out by the current owner including, new alternator and battery, new rear drums and shoes on both sides and a complete respray in Primrose Yellow.

The MGB GT benefits from a comfortable interior designed for touring pleasure and it still provides a fantastic driving experience over 40 years later. The front seats have been re-covered as well as having new foam and look fantastic with no signs of wear.

The headlining is very good along with the carpets, door cards and dash. There is no radio, but we think we’d rather enjoy the sound of the engine anyway!

The exterior is in fantastic condition and overall the car presents very well. With Italian styling the GT’s certainly make an impression and stand out from the other MGBs, especially finished in Primrose Yellow.

The paint is very good as the car has had a full respray to bring it up to this condition and the brightwork is also excellent.

This particular GT has the much sought after recessed front grille and combined with the fantastic paintwork this car really makes an impression.

The car starts very easily and sounds lovely and smooth. The car has been well cared for and any work that has needed doing has been done, the car drives very well with a nice smooth pull and cruises well.

With receipts showing any and all work that has been carried out and the overall condition of the car reflecting the care that has been taken with it, this GT is as good mechanically as it looks.

The current owner was told when he bought it that it has fast road cams fitted and the way it pulls would seem to reflect this!

The MGB held the record for the world's best selling sports car for almost 20 years and the GT variant built upon the roadster's success to create something truly special.

This 1970 GT benefits from still having the original chrome bumpers (later models had black plastic to meet US regulations) that combined with the Italian styling really make this car stand out. But the GT doesn’t just look gorgeous, it has a reputation for being an easy driving classic, perfect for touring or enjoying a twisting B road.

In good condition both mechanically and aesthetically this MGB GT presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a classic tourer. Bid now, we don’t think this one will hang around!
