  • Part of a family member's collection for a number of years
  • The vendor states it has been maintained to show condition
  • All four wheels recently reconditioned

The Appeal

The MG B GT remains one of the most cherished British sports cars of its era. Pininfarina's elegant fastback silhouette combined with BMC's eager 1,798cc four-cylinder and a slick four-speed manual gearbox to create a car that was as usable as it was enjoyable, a genuine grand tourer in miniature.
This 1972 example has benefited from a restoration carried out approximately 10 years ago, and has since been part of a family collection where it has been well looked after. The interior features a walnut dashboard, and two new batteries have just been fitted. The vendor describes it as a pleasure to drive, providing the full MG experience. For those seeking a well-presented B GT with a thorough restoration behind it, this one warrants close attention.
