Vehicle Description
With its unique styling, nimble handling, and extra practicality,
this 1972 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
brightwork. The paint has an excellent luster, and the clean glass
and the full-length trim showcase well-fitting body panels. So
there's a nice look of a quality driver. You get the nice touches
of a classic British driver, like stone guards on the headlights
and mini lite-style wheels.
The black interior has a clean and complete style that's quite
inviting. Even the dash light still greets you when the door opens.
Those familiar with the roadster will feel 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 shifter is
exceptionally close for comfortable and quick performance. And they
are both finished in wood for that ideal vintage feel. The driver
gets a complete 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 a
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input. And we like the
custom upholstery has red piping to coordinate with the exterior.
What makes the GT distinctive is behind these buckets. The rear
seats fold flat, and the hatchback gives you genuine luggage space
and versatility that the roadster never could.
Lift the hood to see the peppy 1800cc motor. It has the clean look
of maintenance, and it has received the right upgrades along the
way, like a Weber carburetor and a cannon intake. There's a
surefooted feeling on the road thanks to front disc brakes and new
Goodyear tires. So this coupe has the kind of style that just begs
for the open road, and that's precisely 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 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!
