The Appeal

While the MGB Roadster was a conventional British sports car, the GT was altogether more radical, with a Pininfarina-penned hatchback hard top offering immense practicality without compromising the car's good looks. With overdrive and the 1,798cc B Series engine, the GT makes for a genuinely usable classic.

This 1973 example is incredibly well presented having been subject to an extensive 4 year restoration by a very experienced lifelong MG enthusiast. This is a stunning example with no expense spared, the very attractive Bentley Tempest Silver paintwork together with the beautifully appointed cream interior attracts loads of attention.
