Description
Previously listed at £8, 500, now reduced to £7, 800 ono! Really want to find a good new home for this lovely car :-)
Good example of an MGB GT. Being sold as three children under three means that our days of a two seater (well, 2+2) classic sports car are behind us.
Specification highlights:
- Full professional carburettor rebuild in 2019
- Recent major professional service, including retrofitting a modern 12V battery, new fuel pump and hoses, new front brake calliper and pads, new oil and water gauge.
- Back-to-metal respray in 2018, stored in garage since then
- Four brand new tyres
- Working overdrive
- Brand new seatbelts
- Chrome bumpers
- Rostyle wheels
Creature comforts for modern use:
- Modern, vintage-look radio fitted
- Bluetooth NFC receiver hidden in central arm-rest, pair your phone with a classic!
- Modern speakers in both front footwells. Not going to be audiophile quality sound in a classic, but you can hear music at low speeds and still hear sat-nav instructions on the motorway.
- Dual USB (A) ports on the dashboard to power modern gadgets, tastefully hidden. Can you spot it in the photos?
Has always been a good runner, no problems with cold starting, even in deepest-darkest winter. Bodywork in great condition, mostly stored in a garage since my ownership (10+ years). Interior is tidy, showing age in a few spots, but everything is functional.
Overdrive unit means that it'll cruise along at motorway speeds. That said, I feel that it's natural home are the B-roads in the Peaks. Fun car to own and drive, makes a journey an event in itself (unlike some classics that make a gear-change an event to be celebrated).
Few of the glamour shots from our wedding in 2019.
Next major project for this car would be an unleaded conversion for the engine (hardened valve seats). Currently runs just fine on E5 petrol with an anti-knock additive (available from any forecourt I've been to).
V5C shows 11 previous keepers. Two of which were my father and my grandfather, family ownership going back over two decades. Stored in garage for last 10 years.
