Dating originally from the 20/02/1973, this stunning MG B GT was subject to a photo-documented, total bare metal rebuild in 2014 before being refinished in Jaguar Ice Blue and professionally retrimmed in Biscuit leather with matching door cards and carpet
In 2020, the engine was taken out to 1,860cc and extensively modified to 'fast-road Stage 2 spec' at a cost of £3,000
Further developments include new carbs in 2022 with mesh pod filters, stainless steel exhaust, new alternator, electronic ignition, alloy radiator with twin fans and adjustable thermostat, battery cut-off switch, wire wheels three years old, uprated rear springs, smooth overdrive, bonnet struts for easy access, oil cooler, AccuSpark plug leads and sparkplugs (AC7C for cooler running)
Purchased by our vendor in July 2024, however a change of circumstances means that it has to reluctantly be offered for sale
Indicating 78,352 miles, the last service was in July 2024 and the MOT is valid until July 2025
It's supplied with a comprehensive file with some service history, receipts for major work and its Heritage Certificate
The B GT's looks remain timeless, particularly in profile and the combination of intelligent upgrades, a beautiful leather interior and gleaming Jaguar Ice Blue take this super example to another level
