SUMMARY
Never used and never registered. A remarkable 1980 MGB GT!
DESCRIPTION
This car is a unique MGB GT and was supplied by Kennings Ltd in Derby, however, it's difficult to know exactly when, as no records exist of the date of purchase as the vehicle was never registered when new, although the MG Owner's Club records suggest a build date of 1980. The correct printed form, which was supplied with the car when new, is still present meaning that this MGB can technically still be registered and carries the correct type approval etc. It even has the original driver's handbook present. The MGB GT has always been a good-looking car and this example in gleaming Black with 'Rostyle' wheels and period Orange 'deckchair' upholstery reminds you of the reasons why you simply had to have one at the time. It's obviously not new, but it is new, with not a single nut, bolt, or grommet having been changed from the moment it left the factory.
Unique, in the proper sense of the word and, as we often say, "Find another one".
