The chrome-bumper MG B GT is one of the most iconic British luxury coupés. It combines the handling of a lightweight sports car with the practicality of an elegant fastback. The 1971 model year belongs to the most sought-after period for the B GT, while authentic, well-preserved examples are becoming increasingly scarce.
 
Presented in an elegant blue and chocolate brown combination, this MG B GT would appear to have had only two owners since it was first registered. According to the seller, it has been kept in a garage under a cover for many years.
 
The seller describes the bodywork, paint, cabin and mechanical condition as remarkably well preserved. The paint is described as free of dents and corrosion, apart from a slight scrape noted on the left rear wing.
 
Mechanically, only minimal work would have been required over its life, and the car passed its technical inspection in May 2026 with no anomalies reported. Registered on a French collection certificate and presented with concordant numbers according to the seller, this MG represents a compelling proposition for any discerning enthusiast of the marque.
 

BEFORE BUYING 

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or placing an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning consumer rights under European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions. 

✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the winning bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms for rate specifics. 

✓ This vehicle is "as is", on a "as seen, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and it is customary to conduct a full vehicle inspection before purchase for peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer price or bid, as stated in the listing. 

✓ We aim to make the transaction smooth for you, too, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and sold on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial lien, allowing you to bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as scrapped in the event of a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide scrap-category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always prudent to perform a full vehicle history check before bidding on it. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or shipment of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur duties and additional import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company to assist. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
