Highlights

Elegant GT in Teal Blue in good condition
Well-maintained bodywork and interior
Wooden steering wheel and matching gear knob
A classic GT that's a pleasure to drive and a pleasure to drive every day

The plus

There was a coupé version of the MGA, but it sold very little. Pininfarina's ingenious transformation of the B Roadster showed that there was a real demand for a GT coupé like the E-Type mini.

And that demand is still there. The BGT is now one of the most popular classic cars, and no wonder. They are simple, reliable cars with easy access to parts and an excellent community of specialists, making them very easy to maintain. As well as their attractive looks, they offer real driving pleasure and practicality. Perfect for weekend drives, events or tourist escapades.

This attractive 1972 Teal Blue version, with chrome bumpers, is in very good condition. The bodywork and structure are sound, and the interior is well preserved. The wooden steering wheel and gear knob add a touch of elegance to the cabin.

If you're looking for a classic car that you can use for weekends or trips, this BGT deserves your full attention.
