Vehicle Description
With its more unique styling, nimble handling, and extra
practicality, this 1973 MGB GT is one of those great classics you
never need much convincing to enjoy... especially at this
affordable price.
An MGB GT dressed in an Italian-style deep red just seems
appropriate. After all, these hatchback coupes had a bit more flair
than the roadsters thanks to an update by Pininfarina. But beyond
this Italian update is the British style we all love. The sleek
lines with just the right amount of chrome give these earlier MGBs
like this one a confidently regal appearance. The later cars trade
in their chrome grille and chrome rear bumpers for black plastic
units, so this one appreciates its history with well-maintained
bright work. Even the sweeping trim line runs unbroken over the
whole profile. And the Rostyle wheels are also such a part of this
icon that you'll love to see a fresh set of these alloys on the
coupe.
Those familiar with the roadster will feel right at home hopping
into the GT. The entire inside envelops the driver like a second
skin. The space between the three-spoke wheel and the wood grain
stick shift is exceptionally close for comfortable and quick
performance. The driver gets a full set of Smiths gauges with a
large speedometer and tachometer, as well as dials for other vitals
such as oil, fuel, and water. Plus, there have been some nice
upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo and bucket seats finished in
cloth. What really makes the GT distinctive is behind these
buckets. The hatchback gives you genuine luggage space and
versatility that the roadster never could. This gives you the
versatility to pack all the toys you want for any weekend
getaway.
Lift the hood to see the peppy 1800cc motor. While this looks
authentic - right down to the British Leyland valve cover - there
also nice signs of improvement. For example, this motor now inhales
through a Weber carb properly mounted on a Pierce intake manifold.
There's a surefooted feeling on the road thanks to front disc
brakes and new Goodyear tires. So this coupe has the kind of
investment that just begs for the open road, and that's exactly
what an MGB GT is all about. The sound of the motor, the slickness
of the four-speed gearbox, and unmatched tight handling will make
it your favorite classic.
This is a distinctive coupe that's far rarer than its roadster
siblings, and it even has the bold red to stand out further. So
when something so desirable is also affordable, you need to hurry
up on this deal. Call now!
