Vehicle Description
This 1970 MGB GT has an instant presence that makes it quite
attractive. That's because it's coming off of two decades of care
under the same owner. So you have the kind of clean style that
comes from investing in a car that you want to hold for the long
term... and that's exactly why you want to keep it, too.
The bright paint is the product of a respray followed by years of
good care. And having 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 their chrome grille and chrome rear bumpers
for black plastic units, so this one appreciates its history with
well-maintained brightwork. And the quality body panels mean the
sweeping trim line runs like an unbroken line over the whole
profile. Rostyle wheels are also such a part of this icon that
you'll love to see these looking so fresh on this coupe.
The black interior looks stylish against the red, and the quality
fundamentals remind you of the proper care that goes into long-term
ownership. 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, the AM/FM digital tuner
w/cassette means better driving music. 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. It has the same
extra-clean and well-respected style as the rest of the car. It
even has the right upgrades. 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
modern Cooper 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 build receipts, this is a distinctive coupe that's
far rarer than its roadster siblings, and it has the kind of
history we all want in a true classic. So when something so
desirable is also affordable, you need to hurry up on this deal.
