For Sale: 1975 MG MGB GT in Houston, Texas

Vehicle Description

This beautifully restored 1975 MGB GT Golden Jubilee is a true piece of MG history. Built to mark MG's 50th anniversary, the Jubilee model is exceptionally rare - only 751 coupes were produced worldwide (750 planned, one wrecked). Finished in exclusive British Racing Green with gold striping, this right-hand-drive hatchback was originally sold only in the UK. (MG Car Club records note that when new, none were allowed into the U.S. - only 2 are known to have been imported there as of 2016.) Complete with its factory dash plaque "#300" and comprehensive build paperwork, this concours-restored GT is an ultra-rare collectors' item.

This GT has undergone a three-year, ground-up restoration to concours standards. Every aspect of the car was rebuilt or refinished to factory specification. The body panels were completely stripped and repainted in the correct "Racing Green" shade, with the gold side stripes and logos precisely reapplied. All trim and brightwork have been re-chromed or replaced, and the bumpers, headlight covers, and mirror caps retain the special black (non-chrome) finish unique to this edition. Under the hood and in the cabin, attention to detail is evident: the black cloth seats with headrests (an optional feature on 1975 models) are like new, and the interior sports the original wood-rimmed V8-style steering wheel, full carpeting, and tinted glass - all Jubilee equipment.

Underneath its classic styling, the Jubilee GT retains the familiar MGB mechanical package. The stock 1,798 cc (1.8L) B-Series inline-4 engine delivers its factory-rated 95 hp, yet this example pulls strongly thanks to meticulous tuning. It is paired with the 4-speed manual gearbox and factory Laycock overdrive - a desirable feature on this model- making highway cruising effortless. The car runs on its correct Jubilee-spec 14? alloys (painted black with gold trim) wrapped in modern tires. Braking is safe and confident with power-assisted front discs and rear drums (standard for 1975 MGBs), and an upgraded dual-circuit master cylinder. For driving comfort, this car is equipped with all the proper amenities from new: heater/ventilation, a rear wiper, and a heated rear window, plus more subtle touches like the original period amber side marker lights.

In summary, this 1975 MGB GT Golden Jubilee is not just a car - it's a piece of automotive history. Its factory-original anniversary features and painstaking restoration combine to offer one of the finest, most authentic Jubilee models you'll find anywhere. If you want an MG that stands out at shows, commands respect from fellow enthusiasts, and offers a genuinely unique driving experience, this is the one. With its limited-edition pedigree, documented #300 build status, and certified heritage, it's a true collector's dream. Don't miss the opportunity to own this ultra-rare Golden Jubilee - a legitimate "trophy car" ready to enjoy today and preserve for generations.
