The Appeal
The 1967 MGB GT is an iconic British 2+2 sports car, designed for the driving enthusiasts of its day. Styled by Pininfarina, it’s regarded as one of the defining sports cars of the late 1960s thanks to its well-balanced chassis, precise steering, and timeless design. A fantastic choice for MG fans—or anyone after an affordable, enjoyable, and truly classic British sports car experience.
This MGB GT is a fine example of the well-known British classic sports car, lovingly cared for with a documented history stretching back nearly six decades. It has benefited from restoration work to both the body and mechanicals, combining period-correct specification with a few tasteful updates, including a Zenith carburettor and ‘Sebring’-style bumpers.
The vendor says
“A great-looking car and a real head-turner with Sebring-style bumpers and 15” wire wheels. Sounds fantastic with the Zenith carburettor. Definitely a driver’s car.”
