The Appeal
Oft-praised as one of the most beautiful cars Pininfarina ever designed, the fixed-roof MGB GT transformed the already handsome MGB into a handsome, fastback tourer.
This 1972 example has been in the same family for over three decades, maintained throughout by the Welsh MG Centre. Recent mechanical attention includes freshly balanced and tuned carburettors, new spark plugs, a water pump, and a thermostat, while an unleaded cylinder head has been fitted for compatibility with modern fuels. The vendor describes the car as very responsive and lovely to drive, with smooth gear changes throughout the box.
