The MGB is Britain’s archetypal classic car, and for a very good reason. With around 25,000 survivors, it’s both an easy and effortless classic to own, with an industry built up around its survival and a thriving owners’ scene.
Introduced in 1962, it instantly became the most popular British sports car, enjoying an incredible production run of 19 years thanks to its Italianate good looks and its simple, easy-to-maintain engineering.
The fixed-roof MGB GT came three years after the hatch and sported a ground-breaking “greenhouse” rear end, designed by Pininfarina. With its side-hinged rear window and flat-folding 2+2 seat, it offered surprisingly useful amounts of luggage space yet maintained the B Roadster’s sporty driving characteristics.
This example is one of the last ‘chrome-bumper’ models finished in the rich and smart colour scheme of Damask Red. It has the added benefit of a full-length Webasto sunroof and is a very smart and well-presented car that’s ready to use and enjoy.Zj0IOuOvqBPVdq51gpnNxYACDNJcnSEyktNv62qP.jpg1.26 MB
