With just 66,000 miles on the clock and a solid history of care going back to the restoration in the 90s, this car offers a thrilling combination of vintage charm and reliable performance. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer to classic cars, this MGB GT is ready to deliver unforgettable drives.

The 1.8L engine, paired with a manual transmission and smooth overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears, offers a spirited driving experience. Recent enhancements ensure reliability and top-notch performance, including a 123 programmable electronic ignition for smooth acceleration and precision handling.

Recent Work Completed:
• Braking System: New brake and clutch master cylinders, clutch slave cylinder, drum brakes, and a full brake fluid replacement.
• Engine and Cooling: New radiator, coolant lines (system flushed), water pump, fan belt, and pulley. Multiple engine oil changes, new fuel pump, fuel filter, and lines.

The car has been garaged for most of the last 13 years and boasts an older restoration with photo documentation. The interior features blue cloth seats re-covered by a previous owner, and the shutlines are excellent.

Honest Details – Areas to Note:
• The paintwork is reasonable but thin in spots, notably on the front seal and bonnet.
• Original bumpers show some pitting.
• Slight rust is present on one rear wing seam (stable since 2011) and at the front of one rear wheel arch.

This car represents a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of motoring history, with MOT valid until February 2025 and all recent work done to ensure reliability. It's a reluctant sale as the owner is leaving the country, making this a rare chance to own such a well-kept classic.
