The Appeal

MG had found the winning formula with the MGB GT. The elegant fastback design penned by Pininfarina, combined with BMC's willing 1,800cc four-cylinder engine and a smooth four-speed manual gearbox, created a practical and rewarding road car that remains extremely popular with enthusiasts today. Early MK1 models with chrome bumpers are particularly sought-after for their clean lines and period charm.

This 1967 example is presented in British Racing Green with black leather trim and white stitching. The seller describes it as sound and solid, retaining its original unrestored character; the naturally aged paintwork offering an honest and appealing patina. It benefited from a thorough mechanical overhaul in 2018, with additional work carried out since, and is accompanied by an expert's report and maintenance invoices.
