DESCRIPTION
Introduced in 1965 the MGB GT was one of the earliest examples of the now popular hatchback car and the large load platform for luggage made the GT a really useful two-seat touring car. Although the coupe bodywork made the GT much heavier than the Roadster, its shape actually helped the performance with improved aerodynamics and gave the GT a slightly higher top speed than the Roadster and also an improvement in handling.
First registered in June 1967 this very usable Mk.I MGB GT is finished in an unusual Beige colour with Red leather seats piped in White, new Red carpets, period steering wheel, 1798cc engine with 3-synchro gearbox, overdrive and wire wheels. The ultimate specification!
In all round good order, there are a few unfortunate defects in the panel work, particularly on the passenger door, but this is a relatively easy fix should one wish. We believe that the car was the subject of some restorative works in the period to 2005 as the odometer was reset with history picking up from the 2005/2006 MoT at 1,558miles, now showing just 3,103. It is a car that can be used and enjoyed and is a great first classic car for someone taking the plunge. MG's are very simple ot work on if necessary with mechanicals easily accessible and relatively uncomplicated. The car has just passed its MoT and coming from a large collection where it has resided since September 2009 it has been used only occasionally. A fabulous car!
