Vehicle Description
With its more distinct styling, nimble handling, and extra
practicality, this 1973 MGB GT is one of those great classics you
never need much convincing to enjoy. And when a classic with an
affordable price also comes with a recently rebuilt engine, then
you know you've found a great driver's coupe.
These hatchback coupes had a bit more flair than the roadsters
thanks to styling 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 traded in their chrome
grille and chrome rear bumpers for black plastic units, so this one
appreciates its history with well-maintained brightwork. Even the
sweeping trim line continues to run over the whole profile. You may
find some areas to improve or choose to update the paint, but the
value price is there to leave room in your budget to give it a
personal touch. But that's for show car people. If you're a driver,
you'll appreciate a strong classic that's clean and complete
everywhere from the fit of the panels to the iconic Rostyle
wheels.
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. What really makes the GT distinctive
are behind the high-back bucket seats. The hatchback has genuine
luggage space and versatility that the roadster never could. This
gives you the flexibility to pack all the toys you want for any
weekend getaway.
Lift the hood to see the peppy 1800cc motor. This was rebuilt less
than 1k miles ago. It was a comprehensive investment that included
the block machined and honed. Plus, they added new plugs, wires,
distributor, coil, gaskets, and a Pierce intake. So it's a strong
powerhouse that fires up with an eagerness that wants to hit the
streets. There's a surefooted feeling thanks to front disc brakes
and 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.
Complete with maintenance records, this is a distinctive coupe
that's far rarer than its roadster siblings. So when something so
desirable is also affordable, you need to hurry up on this deal.
