Descrizione
A stunning example finished in Flame Red with black trim, an older restoration that is holding up extremely well with bright glossy paint and good panel fit.
The MGB's appeal was considerably widened with the launch of the GT in 1965 with its fastback roof, designed by Pininfarina, the design echoed conventional GT styling cues but resulted in a good looking variant. Usefully, the raised windscreen height and side windows means that even taller drivers benefit from increased headroom over a Roadster and although the rear-seats are really only useful for luggage, they prove to be most practicable in daily use. Under the skin, the GT is as the Roadster, and that means tidy handling and excellent performance.
Being a later car, the car has a four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on all forward ratios, and being a 1970 on example, it is referred to as a MK3 but has retained the chrome grille and slats.
The body and paintwork are excellent and sits well on an appealing set of chrome wire wheels shod with good tyres.
A big bonus on any GT is the fitment of a full length folder fabric sunroof which gives the car a light airy feel and gives the benefit of practicality but with open air motoring.
Few really good examples of the GT survive and this must surely be one of the best.
Available for viewing, by appointment please, in our dry and well lit sales barn.
