The Background
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 History
Whilst we don’t know much about the history of this car the current owner has had extensive work carried out by a specialist and has invoices exceeding £4000. For sale due to a change in circumstances this GT would make a fantastic easy restoration project or is ready to enjoy on the road.
The Paperwork
Whilst there isn’t much historical paperwork there is a set of invoices dated February this year totaling just under £5000. The invoice details the full recommissioning of the car which was originally bought complete but in parts.
The work includes (but is not limited to) the following; a full fuel system overhaul including a full clean of the fuel system and carb rebuild with a full set of new float needles, most of a new ignition system including distributor cap, plugs, HT leads and coil, new front calipers and brake pipes throughout, all fluids changed, new exhaust, new battery and new SS exhaust.

The Interior
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 seats are generally in good condition along with the door cards, however the dash would benefit from some sympathetic restoration due some areas of flaking paint, however this doesn’t detract from the driving experience.
The Exterior
The exterior is in fair condition and overall the car presents well. With Italian styling the GT’s certainly make an impression and stand out from the other MGBs. Most of the paint is sound with a few small areas of corrosion visible as shown in the images. The brightwork is in good condition with only some minor imperfections that a good polish should take care of.
The Mechanics
The car starts very easily and sounds lovely and smooth through the new SS exhaust. Having had a significant and recent rebuild (running gear - not the engine internals) the car drives very well with a nice smooth pull and easy stable cruising even at motorway speeds.
With all of the recent work carried out by a specialist this GT offers the opportunity to acquire a true British classic with the significant mechanical work already taken care of, ready for some cosmetic restoration or to enjoy as it is.

The Appeal
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 1974 GT benefits from still having 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. With all of the mechanical work having been taken care of, 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!

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
