Vehicle Description
Introduced in 1962 and sold until 1980, the MGB was a compact 4cyl
sports car that was produced by British Leyland. The MGB GT's
innovative hatchback design by Pininfarina gave the MGB a fresh
look and filled a need for enclosed sports car. The GT's design and
performance have made them a favorite among English and grand
touring car enthusiasts alike and for these reasons, The MGB/GT
will always remain popular and an excellent entry level automotive
investment. The long line of MG's is impressive with the variations
and life cycle over the years. The very cool thing about this car
is that in 1970, it was the only year that MG offered the GT with
the rear split chrome bumper - couple that with the factory
overdrive and you are looking at a very rare MGB GT.
Finished in a bright and cheery shade of Snapdragon Yellow, this
MGB GT is in very solid shape. Overall the body is very straight
with no major imperfections or rot. The paint is very solid with
just a few spots of interest. The rare chrome bumpers are in great
condition and have great shine. The rest of the chrome trim is in
good original shape but could use a good polish. The knock-off wire
wheels are very nice and have brand new tires mounted. All the
rubber and plastic trim, and glass is in excellent shape. Coming to
us from Tennessee, this little MGB GT has been well cared for and
has escaped the clutches of the rust belt. The black interior is in
very nice condition, with solid vinyl seats, and crack free
dashboard. Very original, this car also has the factory radio, as
well as a nice cue ball shifter, MG floor mats, and factory
steering wheel.
The original 1.8L 4cyl British Leyland engine is a relatively
smooth runner and the 4-speed manual transmission is easy to use.
Offering nearly the same performance as the roadster, such as the
105mph top speed, the GT also offered some much needed increase in
cargo room. While it has a rear bench seat, good luck fitting
anyone in the rear! While MG B roadsters have been holding steady
value for the last few years, the prices of the GT have been
increasing as more and more flock to the models benefits over the
standard cars. Now is your chance to act!
