The Appeal

Stepping into this late-model MG BGT takes you back in time. Renowned for its sleek and sporty design matched with impressive performance, the MG BGT has always been a beloved classic - a Pininfarina masterpiece with greenhouse windows and hatchback styling.

But what makes this particular vehicle truly standout is its highly original 'timewarp' condition. The factory black paint, original rust-free floors and fittings, and special order interior have all been beautifully preserved. With less than 26,000 verified miles on the clock, this MGBGT offers a unique opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of motoring history.
