Lot 208: MG B GT

Classics Cars, Barons (10th September 2006)

Introduced in 1963, the MGB could not have been more different that the MGA. Although not as startling as the MGA was to pre-war MG Midget enthusiasts, the B was a new breed of motor car. With is unitary construction, timeless styling and bullet proof mechanics, the MGB would provide the basis of the MG range for the next two decades.The single most important change to the MGB was the adoption of American specified ride height and impact bumpers across the board in 1974. This major change splits the MGB into two distinct categories, with each model appealing to different buyers.This very late BGT is said to have benefited from over £2000 worth of expenditure in the very recent past. It also has service history, previous MoT certificates and original owners handbook.The black paintwork is said to be good, as is the original grey and black interior and the car sits on Minilite style alloy road wheels and is said to perform well.
